Next, we saw a small water pond with many doves’ and ducklings floating on it. It was interesting to see new birds, some of them were wild. We saw more birds in an enclosure. They twittered, chirped, and whistled. It was pleasing indeed to hear the sound of them. We saw many birds there. Sparrows, nightingales, and owls of different colours sat in the closed cages. The owls sat with closed eyes, lost in thought. We bade a silent farewell to those philosophers among birds and walked on.

A Visit To A Zoo
Last Sunday, Rani came to my house. We decided to visit the zoo. At about nine we reached the Zoo. We bought the tickets and entered the gate. A zoo is indeed a world in itself. It is a world of wild animals and birds, made artificially by man.
Sparrows and parrots of different kinds and colours were the first to welcome us. There were also pigeons and cuckoos of different breeds.
As we went a little further, we saw a big lake. I was greatly amused when I saw swans, ducks, and other birds swimming in the water. Some of them were sitting on the banks.
The deer and the monkeys were wandering freely. They were kept in a small wood bounded by a stream.
Some children were throwing peanuts and parched grams towards the monkeys. I also threw them towards the monkeys. As the naughty animals picked them up I felt very happy.
We moved forward. My friend was frightened to see a crocodile. In a cage, we saw a lion. It was roaring. Some children were teasing it but it was very bad. The tigers looked awful basking in the sun.
We also saw many other animals such as deer, foxes, wolves, jackals, hyenas, and birds of many colours.
There is no denying the fact that a visit to the zoo is indeed a thrilling experience. It will always remain fresh in my memory.

Recently our school arranged a tour to Delhi. We were twenty students in the charge of a teacher. We saw many important places in the Capital but the zoo interested us the most.
The zoo was divided into different sections. First of all, we visited birds. There were all types of birds-pigeons, parrots, peacocks, etc. They produced different kinds of sounds. Some birds appealed to us for their bright plumes and sharp eyes.
Then we came to a pond where we saw swans, ducks, turkeys, and cranes. Some of them were swimming while some others were sitting on the banks of the pond.
After seeing birds, we came to animals. Monkeys were the first to attract our attention. They were very agile. They jumped from one iron bar to another. We wanted to offer them something to eat but did not. Visitors were not allowed to feed them.
Then we moved on to the section where we saw lions, tigers, wolves, and bears. They were imprisoned in strong iron cages. Their very sight sent a wave of fright. We were almost dead with fear when a lion started roaring. We quickly moved on. Then we saw kangaroos, zebras, giraffes, elephants, and camels. The giraffes, with their long necks and dark patches on their coats, interested us most. We also saw deer and stags frisking about.
By this time we were tired. So we decided to return. We did not take any photographs. But the impression of different birds and animals was imprinted on our minds.

It was a Sunday. We, the three friends, went to the Kolkata Zoological Garden at Alipore. Bimal and Somen, my two classmates, are fond of me. We are very close with one another.
At about 12 noon, we entered the zoo along with other visitors. Amal brought a Kodak box camera. As we approached the cages of the birds or animals, he took snaps. Sometimes, he kept us two in the frame, with the animals at the background.
We saw two elephants, tied with iron chains by their hind legs. The visitors offered them bananas or nuts which they gladly accepted and swallowed. But when someone offered them a coin, the elephants would at once give it to the guard who stood by. We were greatly amused to see the huge animals from so near. I could imagine how fearsome they could be in a jungle.
We moved slowly from one end to the other of the zoo, passing by the cages containing various types of birds. Then we came to the cages of tigers, panthers, leopards, and lions. They were wonderful. Some of them were found to take rest, lying on the ground, and some loitering restlessly inside the cage. They did not care to look at the strangers waiting with curiosity outside their cages.
The serpent house gave us a new experience. We saw various types of snakes on the first floor over there. There were also some crocodiles in a small cemented tank on the ground floor, far from the reach of the visitors. Then we saw the hippopotamus, the bison, the camels, the ostriches, the bats, and also many season birds who had migrated from far-off lands, and were found floating on the bed of the large tank in the zoo.
Besides, there were monkeys who jumped and ran hither and thither inside their cages, sometimes making faces at the children’s visitors who teasingly screamed or shouted at them. The zebras and giraffes were really beautiful and looked innocent and friendly, as they approached the fences. The giraffes raised their long necks to watch us, as did the camels sometime back.
It was about 2 P.M. when we had taken some light refreshments in the zoo canteen. Then, Amal went on his photo session, taking snaps one after another.
In this way, we passed the day with much delight and acquired wonderful experiences about the animal kingdom. At 5 P.M. the zoological garden was closed, before which we came out on the city street to be again in our known world.
