Zoo Tragedy

    One sunny Saturday, my friend and I decided to visit the zoo. We took a bus but instead of reaching the zoo, we were told to get down at a housing estate.
   We had boarded the wrong bus and we had never been to that house estate before. Nervously, Ariff approached the gate of one of the house and asked the lady there if she could direct us to the zoo.
   The lady, Miss Waniey was very kind. She showed us a map and pointed out to us where we were. She then told us that bus number 46 would take us to the zoo.
   Half an hour later, bus number 46 finally arrived and as Miss Waniey said, it stopped in front of the zoo. To our dispointment, the gates were, however, already closed. The sign said it was closed at 5.00 p.m and the time was already half-past five. It just was not our day.
