Essay: A Visit to a Zoo
My friends Areeb and Awais and I happened to pay a visit recently ' to the zoo at Lahore. We had to pay rupees 25 as entry fee at the gate. As we entered, we saw a fountain playing in front of us. First of all, we saw the section of the beasts.
There were wolves, jackals, bears and foxes. The wolves and the bears looked terrible. A grey bear was moving to and fro in the cage. Just then, we heard the roar of a lion. It was in a big and high cage. The lion was moving restlessly. There were also tigers and leopards nearby.
Then, we went to the other side, we saw monkeys and baboons. They were jumping and dancing. Some of the people gave them parched grams. They accepted them delightly. Next to them, there were stags, rabbits and deer. All looked at them with surprise. We moved to other side to have a look at the birds. There were birds of every kind.
We saw pigeons, parrots and sparrows. They chirped and flew about. They were very beautiful to look at. Not far from us there stood a black elephant. He was eating grass lying before him.
Then, we went further. In a pond nearby’ we saw ducks and cranes. In a small pool of clear water, we saw red silver fish. Otter, in another tank, amused us. Men were throwing coins into the tank and the otter was bringing them out.
It was now late in the evening. We heard a bell. It was time for us to leave the zoo. We returned home quite satisfied.
