📖 Reading

Welcome to Green Street Zoo! This is a small zoo, but it is very popular. There are many animals here, and every animal has got a special home. Let's start at the main gate. Next to the gate, there is a big map. On the map, you can see all the animal houses. Behind the map, there is a small café. People can have a coffee or a juice there. Now look at the monkeys! The monkeys are in a tall cage between the elephants and the birds. The monkeys like to jump from tree to tree. Under the trees, there is a little pool of water. The lions are not near the monkeys. They are at the back of the zoo, next to the tigers. In front of the lions' home, there is a fence. Children can stand at the fence and look at the lions, but they can't go inside. At the end of the visit, go to the gift shop. It is on the right side of the exit. In the shop, you can buy postcards, toys, and hats. Have a wonderful day at Green Street Zoo!
