It is Sunday today,
I wanted to play
A new funny game-
"The Zoo" is its name.
I bring garden cherries,
Some lettuce and meat:
For my animals' health
They need something to eat.
I make them some changes:
I bring them some mats
For their good sleeping
I make cosy beds.
In big silver cages
They will have a rest,
Skillful Zookeeper? -
Yes, I am the best!

What are these shouts
Of my Kangaroo,
"I don't want to be here!
I hate any zoo!
I like jumping freely
And eating sweet leaves
In my native savanna
Among grown trees."
The roaring Tiger,
"I hate meat in cans,
Tiger likes having
Its own big hunts!"
My Teddy-bear
(What loud screams!),
"Betty, my dear!
My biggest dream
Is to find near here
some clear stream,
And my second wish
To catch in the water
A great silver fish!
And.. Instead of your
garden cherries,
I prefer sweet
forest raspberries."

Then all together they say,
"Betty! Let's go away!
We will show you all the best:
Rivers, forests and fields -
Any place!
Any places on our native
lands!
And my stuffed Crocodile
suddenly says,
"Yummy, yummy!
Perfect idea,
my friends!"
