I heard the pound of a DRUM and the crunch of a CORNFLAKE under my feet. Being my first day in a zoo was ever so EXCITING. Exploring the zoo and every single enclosure, spotting the animals and running off in front of mum and dad and enjoying every second.

My favourite animal was the LION. Running and roaring and waving his beautiful mane. The trees DANCED to his the rhythm of padding of his paws on the rocks. I watched, transfixed. Blood rushed through my veins through ecstasy and being apprehensive. It was the best day of my life.
