Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going to see the zoo with Mom and Dad. They liked to see the animals and hear their sounds. They wanted to dress in their best clothes for the tour.
"Look, Lily, I have a blue shirt and a red hat," Ben said, showing his outfit to his sister.
"I have a pink dress and a yellow bow," Lily said, twirling in front of the mirror. "We are so pretty!"
Mom and Dad smiled and said they were ready to go. They got in the car and drove to the zoo. It was a sunny day and the sky was blue.
But when they got to the zoo, they saw a big sign. It said: "Zoo closed. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Lily and Ben were very sad. They wanted to see the animals so much. They started to cry and ask why.
Mom and Dad said there was a problem with the water pipes. The zoo was wet and muddy and not safe for the animals or the people.
They tried to cheer up Lily and Ben. They said they could go to the park or the library instead. But Lily and Ben did not want to go anywhere else. They only wanted to see the zoo.
They cried and cried in the car. They did not care about their best clothes anymore. They were wet from their tears. They had a bad day.
