It was field trip day to the zoo and Stacy had been looking forward to(期待) it all week long. As soon as her bus stopped at the entrance of the zoo, she ran to the front to be the first in line. She couldn't wait to see the lions, monkeys, giraffes and elephants. As her class went from exhibit(展览) to exhibit in the Aqua Hall(水族馆), Stacy couldn't help but wish they would hurry up. She didn't care about the fish they were looking at. She wanted to get to the big animals.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, her class made their way out to the big cages where the large animals lived. Stacy watched the monkeys swing(荡) from branch to branch, saw the giraffes with their long neck and touched the elephant. But she hadn't seen the lions yet.
She was starting to feel sad that she wasn't going to see the lions when her class turned the corner and there they were! Mama lion was lying in the grass with two little cubs(小狮子) jumping around her. When it was time to go back, one of the cubs did the most amazing thing that Stacy had ever seen. It lifted(举起) its paw(爪子) and put it on the glass. At the same time, it shook its head a little bit. "Look! The cub was saying good-bye, too!"
What an exciting day! Stacy hoped to have another field trip with her class again.
