Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the seal pool. The seals were big and gray, and they swam and jumped in the water.
"Look, mom, the seals are so funny!" Lily said, pointing at a seal that was playing with a ball.
"Yes, they are, sweetie. Do you want to feed them?" mom asked.
"Yes, yes, please!" Tom and Lily said together.
Mom bought some fish from a man and gave them to Tom and Lily. They walked to the edge of the pool, where some seals were waiting.
"Be careful, kids. Don't touch the seals, they might bite. Just throw the fish to them," mom said.
Tom and Lily nodded and threw the fish to the seals. The seals caught the fish with their mouths and made happy noises.
"Wow, they are so smart!" Tom said.
But Lily wanted to touch a seal. She saw a seal that was close to her. It looked friendly and cute. Lily reached out her hand and touched the seal's head.
"Ouch!" Lily cried. The seal bit her finger. It hurt a lot.
Mom ran to Lily and took her hand. She saw blood on her finger.
"Oh, no, Lily, what did you do?" mom asked.
"I touched the seal, mom. I wanted to pet it," Lily said, sobbing.
Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, honey, but you can't touch the seals. They are wild animals, not pets. They don't like to be touched by strangers. You have to be careful and listen to me."
Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't touch the seals again."
Mom took Lily to a nurse, who cleaned and bandaged her finger. Tom followed them, feeling nervous.
"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked.
Lily smiled and said, "I'm okay, Tom. Thank you. The seal didn't mean to hurt me. It was just scared."
Tom hugged Lily and said, "I'm glad you're okay, Lily. I love you."
"I love you too, Tom," Lily said.
Mom smiled and said, "I love you both, kids. Now, let's go see some other animals, okay?"
Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom."
They left the seal pool and went to see some other animals. They had fun, but they never touched the seals again.
