Later, the general manager of the zoo explained that while the wild is best for animals, the zoo tries to replicate their natural habitat and care for injured animals.

    A Trip to the Zoo -Short story for kids

    by mumsandstories.comMay 21, 2018


    Apoorva was quite excited of the note sent by her teacher to her parents in
    the class diary. Apoorva was in Class I and just around 6 years of age and
    could read the note slowly herself, to her mother. The note read, if interested
    to send your child for this year’s class trip. Do sign the form for ‘A VISIT TO
    THE ZOO’.

    Date and other details are mentioned in the form.

    The young girl’s mother while asking about the day in school told her that
    they would decide after discussing with her father. Apoorva waited every
    moment soon after her evening snack and milk to talk to her father.

    Apoorva’s dad when he came back home late evening after work, reading the
    note surprisingly said “Yes”. He generally didn’t like Apoorva going on class
    trips for some reason, not very clear to Apoorva. But a trip to the Zoo got him
    to agree. Apoorva was ecstatic and hugged her father and mum for agreeing
    to this trip.

    So came ‘the day’ of having to go the Zoo with classmates and teachers in the
    school bus. This was her first class trip and she was most excited to be in the
    school bus to see the animals. The teachers too seemed to be in that ‘extra
    fun’ mood. All were singing and playing antakshari and Apoorva and her best
    friends Ruchika and Shlok were too with her; happy and excited.

    After some time they finally reached the zoo that was in the outskirts of the
    city. As the children were making a beeline to be guided by their teachers and
    school attendants Apoorva and her friends went inside and saw the very first
    cage that had peacocks including a white peacock who had spread her
    beautiful white feathers and was dancing.
    All the kids were happy to see peacocks, peahens and then rabbits and birds.
    Soon after Apoorva went to her teacher and asked, “Madam, are the animals
    and birds happy to be in these cages or they are trapped here?”

    Her madam answered that she will give the right information on this at the
    end of the visit and for now Apoorva could enjoy the zoo visit. She asked her
    not to worry about the animals as they were being taken care of by the Zoo
    keepers.

    Once the class kids had seen various animals including Leopards, Elephants,
    tigers, snakes and hippopotamus, the kids were asked to have their lunch from
    the tiffin boxes they had got from home.

    As biscuits and chocolates were distributed from the teachers to the students,
    Apoorva saw an uncle coming and standing next to the class teacher. He said
    turning to the kids, “Children, I hope you are happy being here as much as I
    am happy to have you all visit our zoo. I am the General Manager who
    supervises the Zoo’s daily activities. I think one of you have asked your teacher
    a very important question on whether these animals should be left in the wild
    woods and how we take care of them.

    We are happy to say that the animals are kept here in the most hygiene
    conditions and surroundings that is similar to what they are used to in forests.
    Sometimes we get animals and birds who are injured and we need to take
    care of them.

    So while I do agree living in the forests is much better for any animal, here too
    we are ensuring that their diet, skills in hunting and their surroundings are
    taken care of.”

    All the kids were thrilled hearing this and Apoorva and her friends were
    clapping their hands in joy.

    Now Apoorva was in much better state of mind to visit more animals who
    were in different enclosures and the day finally ended with a tiger safari which
    was the best part of visiting the zoo.
    As it was getting late afternoon, the school teachers guided the children to the
    school bus and everyone came back home with lots of good memories.

    Apoorva later in the evening in her home made a drawing of her visit to the
    zoo and stuck it to the bedroom door. Soon she went to sleep with good
    memories of the day; her trip to the zoo was going to be cherished by her.
