Visit to A Zoo :
Our school broke up for the winter vacations. One day I went to Vandalur zoo with my friends. The entry was by tickets. We went up several steps to purchase the tickets. Then we entered the zoo.
We walked up and down. A deep canal ran parallel to the footpath. Beyond the canal there were small trees. The cages of the birds were hanging down the branches of the trees. Their multi-coloured feathers gleamed into sunlight.
Next we saw a small water pond with many kinds of birds swimming in it. It was interesting to see new birds in an enclosure. They twittered, chirped and whistled. They presented nature’s voice. It was pleasing indeed to hear them. We saw many birds there - sparrows, nightingales and owls of different colours set in the closed cage. The owls sat with closed eyes lost in thoughts. We bade a silent farewell to those philosophers among birds and walked on.
We visited the tigers, lions and bears shut in cages. We saw some hippos and also a rhino. We heared the loud roar of a lion. One tiger was in a fit of anger. The tiger was strong and handsome. I was reminded of Blake’s lines.
“What immortal hand or eye dare frame the fearful symmetry?"
Then we enjoyed a boat cruise. I enjoyed it most. We also saw many other fauna like crocodiles, snakes, frogs, fish ad a hundred other creatures. They all felt at home in the zoo. Last of all we saw different kinds of monkeys.
We passed many happy hours in the zoo. It was a pleasing experience for all of us.
It was a rainy day.The sun was hiding behind the clouds.My father called me downstairs and asked if we could go for outing. I jumped with joy and there was a broad smile on everyone's face but after seeing the bad weather my joy was subsided. Suddenly the sun nursed from the clouds and it was a good weather again. Then we started to decide a place were we could enjoy. My mother suggested to go to the aquarium but unfortunately we could not go because there was no aquarium in our city. We all sat in a deep thinking. Then I suggested to go to the zoo. There was an amazing zoo built recently. No sooner than we decided to go to the zoo than I got ready.we quickly dressed up and went for the zoo. I prayed god that there should be no rain till we return. As my prayer got over we had reached th zoo. As I entered I saw different types of animals with their different behaviours.some were naughty,some were violent whereas some were silent. For the first time in my life I had seen a white tiger. What a beautiful tiger it was. We were allowed to touch that tiger. I dared and I tried to touch the tiger. When I went near him he gazed at me. I avoided the contact with him and ran away. Then the next animal we saw was a deer. They looked very calm and happy. There were over fifty animals in the zoo and we saw all of them. I took the camera and was running here and there for clicking photos. With me my parents also were running. At the end I realised that the animals real habitat is forest and we are snatching away their home. I felt very bad for the poor animals. I wished if I could have done something for them.
I was glad that god listened to me and let me enjoy my Sunday.
