Marta said to her children: „Tomorrow, I'm free, it's Saturday, we can spend our day at the zoo. What do you say to children?“ |

On Saturday Marta took her children and they went to the zoo. |

This zoo is very large and extensive. In the zoo there are large and small, wild and domestic animals. |

On the way, the children asked questions. Marta replied very briefly. |

She said to them: „When we enter the garden, you will see everything with your own eyes. If you have questions, there we can ask and learn.“ |

There they saw animals they had not seen before from as close by. Among them were wild and tame animals. |

The children asked their mother: „Why are some animals in cages and huts and and some walk freely around?“ |

The mother replied to them: „Some animals are dangerous to humans; for example, lions and tigers are wild animals. It is necessary that they are in a secured area. |

The mother replied: „There are specific people who have studied about animals or like to work with animals; they take care of them. They give them food and drink and clean their cages and huts.“ |
