READ THE STORY

• a) Yesterday my class went to the zoo. We were all excited about seeing all the animals. I really wanted to see the pandas.

• b) When we got to the zoo, I was happy that we went to see the pandas first. There was a baby panda and it was so cute!

• I was looking at the baby panda when suddenly I felt someone taking my hat off my head. I thought it was one of my friends joking with me, but it wasn't. I looked up and saw a monkey wearing my hat and laughing at me!

• Finally, a zookeper came and gave my hat back to me. Lots of people took pictures. There are even videos on the Internet now of the monkey wearing my hat!
