Read the excerpt from the story Animals in the Zoo:

(7) They arrived at the zoo right when it opened at 10:00 a. m. There were three other people in line for the BikeAbout. A small group is good, Rueben thought. That meant that the guide would have time to answer all his questions, and there would be many chances to take pictures.

(8) "Welcome to the San Francisco Zoo," the guide said as he started the tour. "My name is Preston, and I have been a zoo guide for the last seven years. I know everything about the animals here at the zoo, so feel free to ask me anything you want to know about them." Rueben's mom saw Rueben crack a huge smile. He loved asking questions and learning about all of the animals at the zoo. She figured that by this point, he would have already asked everything he wanted to know, but he always found new questions to ask.
