The Zoo
by Larry M. Lynch
Last Wednesday, we decided to visit the
zoo. We arrived the next morning after we
breakfasted, cashed in our passes and
entered. We walked toward the first exhibit.
I looked up at a giraffe as it stared back at
me. I stepped nervously to the next area.
One of the lions gazed at me as he lazed in
the shade while the others napped.

One of my friends first knocked then banged on the
tempered glass in front of the monkey’s cage. They
howled and screamed at us as we hurried to another
exhibit where we stopped and gawked at plumed
birds. After we rested, we headed for the petting zoo
where we petted wooly sheep who only glanced at us
but goats butted each other and nipped our clothes
when we ventured too near their closed pen. Later, our
tired group nudged their way through the crowded
paths and exited the gate. Our car bumped, jerked and
swayed as we dozed during the relaxed ride home.

Simple past tense shows that an action
started and completed in the past and has no
relevance to the present time at all. It can also
be used to describe how someone felt, what
their emotional condition was, at a point in the
past.
Examples:
walked visited looked took bet froze

The Hare and the Tortoise
by Unknown
One day, the Hare and the Tortoise decided to have
a race. The Hare knew that he could run faster than
the Tortoise. But, the Tortoise was more intelligent
than the Hare. ‘Yes, I’ll race with you,’ said the clever
Tortoise. The Tortoise had a clever plan. He found his
brothers and sisters and he told them to wait in
different places along the path. The race begun! The
Tortoise ran as fast as possible. But the Hare was
faster, of course. ‘This will be a very easy race’,
thought the Hare. So the Hare decided to have a
rest, and he quickly fell asleep at the side of the road.
19. SLIDESMANIA.COM
Suddenly, the Hare woke up and he saw a Tortoise ahead of
him! ‘How did he get ahead of me?’ the Hare asked himself. In fact,
it was not his friend the Tortoise. It was the tortoise’s sister. But to a
Hare, all tortoises look the same. The Hare ran past the Tortoise
easily. Soon, he couldn’t see the Tortoise, so he sat down and he
had another rest. Then the Hare got up and continued the race.
But- as the Hare happily came around the last corner before the
finish line – his friend the tortoise crossed the line and won the
race!
