Every summer our class went on a short trip. Last year we went to a zoo. Our teacher was very nervous. Teachers are often nervous on a school trip. But why? We don't understand that. I took lots of photos of a baby elephant with my cell phone. "Why don't you take photos of other animals, too?" my friend asked me. But I didn't want to take photos of other animals. I wanted to take photos of all my friends. They had some bananas and showed them to the gorillas. "What are you doing there? Come to me!" our teacher shouted. We found a nice place for a picnic. But nobody ate a banana, but the gorillas had a nice lunch that day. It was a great day at the zoo, and we had a lot of fun.
