It was feeding time at the zoo. Mr Johnson took the seals(海豹) fish. The seals were happy. But one little seal was not happy. He sat by himself. “What is wrong, Sammy?” said Mr Johnson. “I want to know what it is like outside the zoo,” said the little seal. “All right, Sammy,” said Mr Johnson. Sammy walked and walked.
Some children were standing in line. Sammy got in line too. The teacher was not looking. Sammy sat down. “All right, children. Now we will all sing a song,” said the teacher. The children had good voices. “That sounds fine,” said the teacher. “But one of you is barking — just like a seal.”
“Is it you, Joey?” asked the teacher. “No,” said Joey. “Is it you, Helen?” asked the teacher. “No,” said Helen. “Is it you, Dorothy, Robert, Fred, Joan, or Agnes?” “No,” said the children. “Then it must be you,” said the teacher. “I am sorry. This school is just for boys and girls.” “Please let me stay,” said Sammy. “I will be good.” “All right. You may stay,” said the teacher.
