A family of four went to the zoo today. The animal zoo they were going to had a bunch of different kinds of animals! The kids were so excited to go that they had almost forgot to bring their camera. They arrived to the zoo and the first thing they saw were the flamingos! They were so pretty and pink. They all stood around very silently and looked at the people. The next animal they saw were the lions. They were so scary looking that the kids were scared to walk close to the fence. After the lions were the giraffes. They were so tall, the kids had to lean all the way back to see them. The kids were hungry so they went to go eat lunch. The family had a bunch of food such as pizza, burgers, chicken fingers, and fries. After lunch, they went to see the monkeys. They were so loud and smelly. Some of the monkeys went right up to the glass to look at the people. The family took a break after seeing the monkeys as they were tired from all the walking. The park was so big that they had so many more animals to see! Their feet started hurting, so the family went to see a few more animals. They went home after a really fun day at the zoo. They had seen a lot of animals they never would have seen outside of the zoo. They loved the zoo so much they wanted to go back next week! The parents said they would come back soon to see how the animals were doing.

A single parent took their child on a trip. The trip was to the playground. The child had a fear of the playground, because she had dug a hole and it had made her trip once. The parent put the child on the sofa and put her shoes on, telling her that it would be alright, and they would be back home by nine. At the playground, the child met a witch. The witch had a piggy with her. The witch stood in the middle of the street. She had a broom. The child wondered what there was to sweep at the playground. Instead, the witch made a chicken, and gave some of it to the child. The witch was saying that it was a gift for her. She thought a gift would help the child with her fear. The child ate the chicken.

Answer the questions at the end based on the text.

A mosque (; from ) is a place of worship for followers of Islam.

There are strict and detailed requirements in Sunni jurisprudence ("fiqh") for a place of worship to be considered a mosque, with places that do not meet these requirements regarded as "musalla"s. There are stringent restrictions on the uses of the area formally demarcated as the mosque (which is often a small portion of the larger complex), and, in the Islamic "Sharia" law, after an area is formally designated as a mosque, it remains so until the Last Day.

Many mosques have elaborate domes, minarets, and prayer halls, in varying styles of architecture. Mosques originated on the Arabian Peninsula, but are now found in all inhabited continents. The mosque serves as a place where Muslims can come together for "salat" ( "salat", meaning "prayer") as well as a center for information, education, social welfare, and dispute settlement. The imam leads the congregation in prayer.

The word entered English from a French word that probably derived from Italian "moschea", a variant of Italian "moscheta", from either Middle Armenian ("mzkit'") or Medieval Greek ("masgidion") or Spanish "mezquita", from the Arabic "masjad" meaning "place of worship" or "prostration in prayer", either from Nabataean "masgdha" or from Arabic "sajada" meaning "to bow down in prayer", probably ultimately from Aramaic "sghedh".
