Hi, I'm Achilleas, a 14-year-old boy. I attend the third grade of junior high school. I will share in this story the awesome day I had at the zoo with my friends.

Our class, and my friends Lily and Carlos, got on a big bus to go there. The zoo had big animals, small animals, and even animals that can fly. First, we went to see monkeys. They jumped around and made funny faces. I tried talking to one, but it just made silly sounds. We laughed so much!

After that, we walked over to see the penguins. They walked like they were doing a funny dance. I asked one of them, "How are you?" It just looked at me and didn't say anything. Maybe penguins don't speak my language, we laughed together.

Then, the zookeeper told us about a special show. Animals did tricks. Parrots sang, turtles moved in a funny way, and even a snake did something cool. Lily, Carlos, and I clapped and smiled a lot. It was like a party with animals!
