New Bongo Exhibit

Good morning everyone, Zebee here. There’s Jim and Sally. Let’s see what they’re talking about.

J: Today we’re unveiling the new Bongo exhibit. Are you going to be there?

S: I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I bet Ringo and Paul are going to be really pleased when they get over there.

J: I think Paul is ready to get back out on exhibit, but Ringo likes hiding. I think he’ll like the forest we created in the corner.

S: The guests will like it too because it’s close enough to the fence so they will finally get to see him.

J: I hope that Billy doesn’t cause too much of a fuss next door. He won’t be getting as much attention today.

S: Rebekha’s over there today. She’s got something special planned for him to keep him very busy. Something about teaching him to draw. That should be fun.

J: It’s almost time to open, we’d better get going. See you at the unveiling.

S: Bye Jim, see you later.

Sounds like there’s going to be lots of fun over on the other side of the zoo. I’m glad Billy will be busy so he doesn’t steal the show.

See you Thursday with another great book review.
