Sunday, the family is going to the zoo. They travel by a big green bus. At the entrance they buy tickets and a map. The lion is big and gold, and he has a long mane. The grey elephant drinks water with his trunk. The monkeys climb a tree and laugh. The little sister loves the zebra with the stripes. In the evening they eat ice cream and return home tired.
