Zoo (beginning of Polar bears)

There is one zoo, and because it is far north, they can have animals who like winter the most. There is a polar bear, a polar fox, a snow leopard, white wolves, snow crabs, snow rabbits, snow shoe hares, Siberian white cranes, almost white squirrels, snow owls, white mice and snow fleas, Siberian huskies, Siberian tigers and Canada geese. Fattened snow birds are coming back from Texas at Spring to nest. Reindeer give children rides on the sled, or on the back around the parameter of the Zoo. Polar bear lives right next to the pool with the seals. The bear wakes up every morning with the idea: today I am going to catch my own seal. In the evening, when he goes to the cave he thinks: it doesn't matter, I will catch one tomorrow. The bear lives by hope. Seals don't care, they know there is a wall between their headquarters and polar bear's. They do what seals do in one cold fall day: they swim, dive, frolic and have fun. The bear tries to sleep in his cave, he is grumpy, because he realizes he probably will not catch his seal not today and not tomorrow either. Copyright (c) Marie Neumann New York, 11/26/09
