It was 8 o'clock transcript panel Read audio transcript "It was eight o clock in the morning, and the red hot sun was burning bright. The sky was blue and the air dry, as it was already heating up." Just when he woke up, the lazy boy heard his mother call "Yes, I'm awake I'll be down soon. Just give me one minute," he replied. His pet, a black cat, was sitting near the leg of the bed as if he wanted to say, "Good thing." "I have no time to play with you now," said the boy. "I need to go to the bathroom to take a shower and wash myself " When the little boy came downstairs for breakfast, his father was sitting at the table near the window. He was eating some food and drinking a cup of yellow lemon tea. Her mother was singing with her beautiful and pure voice. She tried not to miss out a single note. Today was a lucky day for the boy, because he had done his homework well, and he hadn't been bad, and therefore his father had promised to take him somewhere nice. They would either go to the cinema, or they would go to the zoo to see the four newborn elephants. At the thought alone of either option, you could see the pleasure in the eyes of the little boy. Without having decided where to go, they had gotten their car to leave home and they decided to figure it out along the way. As they backed out of the driveway, there was a large green tree blocking their vision, and they nearly hit an oncoming car. He would have thought that the lady in the other car hadn t learned how to drive, he thought to himself. After this rocky start, the father decided to trick the boy by saying that their narrow escape from the crash made him realize that it was better to go home instead of doing something fun. Just my luck thought the boy He was really disappointed. They drove past the old city church and the little boy recognized his father's new lab, but when they turned the corner and the five blue flags of the zoo caught his eye, he knew they weren't really going home. Once they entered the zoo he put his ten fingers around his father's arm to keep him near. The last thing he wanted now was to get lost. Like two tourists, they needed to check the map of the zoo to find out where all the animals were, just to make sure they would see everything. After a wonderful day they went home and that night the boy fell asleep with a big smile on his face, as he was dreaming about all the animals in the zoo. When the parents came to wish the boy good night, he was already sound asleep. They tucked him in and gave him a kiss on his forehead. Sleep tight they both said. Sleep tight little angel. player section Your browser does not support the audio element.
