A Visit to Zoo
My friend Pinkoo (Pankaj) studies in another school but we live in the same colony ‘Lajpat Nagar’. One Saturday night, he phoned me on mobile that he needed my help in writing an essay on ‘Giraffe’. I suggested that the next day, we pay a Sunday visit to zoo to see the subject in person. He agreed. I had my own interest in that. My art teacher had given me home assignment to draw a picture of a zoo animal of my choice.
So, in the morning of the Sunday I, Alok and my friend Pinkoo got together at my house. With the due permission of our families, we two reached the zoo in a three wheeler that cost us Rs. 50. There we purchased tickets and went in. We faced no problem in finding the Giraffe enclosure as its neck was craning out high to the height of the tree tops.
We sat at a little distance from the enclosure. My friend began to write- his essay describing the features of the subject. I took out my sketch book-and- crayons to picture it. It was great fun picturing that magnificently colourful creature of unique proportions. My friend also enjoyed wording his easy. We two finished our respective jobs in a couple of hours. After our successful mission we returned home for a satisfying late lunch.
