The Zoo (March 1999)

Jolee went on a field trip to the zoo at Prospect Park the other day. She returned very excited telling us stories about the seals and the fish and the balls and how the seals played with the balls and ate the fish and it was fun.
 
"And what else did you see, Jolee?"
 
"Monkeys!"
 
"Did you see elephants?" I asked, because Jolee told me she was going to see elephants.
 
"No, they were sleeping."
 
"Did you see giraffes?"
 
"No, they were sleeping."
 
"Did you see tigers?"
 
"No, they were sleeping."
 
"Did you see lions?"
 
"No, they were sleeping."
 
"What other animals did you see that weren't sleeping?"
 
"I saw seals and fish and balls and they played and ate the fish and there was monkeys!"
 
So it wasn't the Bronx Zoo.
