A visit to zoo

Zoo is a great attraction for children. Last Sunday I went to see the zoo with my
parents. It is situated at Purana Qila in New Delhi. We bought the tickets and went
inside. Many people had already come to see the animals and birds. First of all, we
saw a lion. It was grand and royal. Then we saw some tigers. Then we went to the
enclosures of leopards, elephants, bears and foxes. Then we went to see the
monkeys and some birds. The monkeys were jumping from one branch of the tree to
another. Some monkeys were eating bananas. The birds in the zoo were very
beautiful. I was very happy to see the birds. I saw some birds for the first time. Then
we moved to a tank. It was full of crocodiles. We also saw some other water birds
like ducks and cranes. We then saw snakes such as pythons and cobras. We spent
six hours in the zoo and then came back. We enjoyed a lot in the zoo.

My Pet

Pets are like our family members. I have a dog as my pet. Its name is Tommy. Its
colour is white with brown patches on its body. It had been trained before we had it
as our pet dog. It is very faithful and obedient. Tommy is very active and playful. It
can smell any danger and barks at strangers. He normally eats vegetarian food but
also loves fish. It shows love and respect to our guest by welcoming them. .It loves
playing with the ball and the both of us spend a lot of time during the holidays,
playing with my bat and ball. It guards my house too. I am very fond of my dog.
