Family tree

Mummy and Daddy took me to the zoo for the first time today and it was great! I saw all sorts of animals ... lions, tigers, hippos, penguins, pandas ... the list just goes on and on. You can imagine my surprise, though, when we arrived at the monkey house and found our family tree painted on the wall outside!


"There are lions and roaring tigers,
and enormous camels and things,
There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons,
and a great big bear with wings.
There's a sort of a tiny potamus,
and a tiny nosserus too -
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!"

(A. A. Milne - from At the Zoo)
