Polly’s teacher Mrs Rockingham said to the class, “we are going to the zoo tomorrow, so please be at school by 8.45am.” At the zoo that morning we saw an elephant eating peanuts. Tom one of my class mates said, “Is that a hippo with a nose disease?” Molly bought her magic wand and left it near the monkey cage. We saw just about every animal in the Universe. When Polly and her dad went to the same zoo, which the school went to. The animals had grabbed Molly’s magic wand and turned all the people in to Invizi-Pets. They did this so people know how it feels to be treated exactly like animals. The people who own the Zoo gave the animal lots of space and food. Now they call it Magic Zoo. Now Polly and Molly train the animals after school and on the weekends. They both get $50 a day. One of the animals they train is birds and they can fly through hoops of fire.
