I　still　remember　the　first　day　I　went　to　the　zoo.　When　I　was　only　five　years　old,　my　mother　took　me　there.　I　was　pleased　to　see　so　many　real　animals　at　the　same　time.　They　seemed　so　lovely　and　active.　I　spent　a　nice　day.　But　on　my　way　home,　I　began　to　feel　sorry　for　them.　They　were　taken　away　from　their　parents　and　friends　and　also　far　away　from　the　nature.　They　must　have　felt　lonely,　I　thought.　Every　day,　the　only　thing　they　could　do　was　to　sit　there　and　wait　for　food.　\ue50a
