小明是一个八岁的男孩。今天，他和家人一起去了动物园。他很喜欢动物，所以他非常期待这次和家人出门玩。小明准备了一个小背包，里面装了一些糖果和一瓶水。他也穿上了他最喜欢的红色衣服和蓝色裤子。
到了动物园，小明就高兴地跑去看动物。他先去了猴子区。他看到了许多猴子在树上跳来跳去，非常有意思。然后，他到了大象区。大象们正在吃饭，小明觉得大象用鼻子吃饭很奇怪。他还拿了一些草给大象，大象用长长的鼻子把草拿走，小明觉得很高兴。
看完动物园的猴子和大象后，小明觉得有点儿累了。他找了一个树，在树下休息。这时候，他看到了卖冰淇淋的车子，他跟妈妈说他也想要吃冰淇淋，可是妈妈说不可以，冰淇淋太贵也太甜。妈妈拿出小明背包里的糖果和水给小明。
下午四点，小明和家人一起离开了动物园。回家的路上，他想下次如果看到冰淇淋车，他要问爸爸不要问妈妈了。

Xiaoming goes to the Zoo
Xiao Ming is an eight-year-old boy. Today, he went to the zoo with his family. He loves animals very much, so he was looking forward to this outing with his family. Xiao Ming prepared a small backpack, which contained some candies and a bottle of water. He also put on his favorite red shirt and blue pants.
As soon as they entered the zoo, Xiao Ming happily ran to see the animals. He first went to the monkey area. He saw many monkeys jumping around in the trees, which was very interesting. Then, he went to the elephant area. The elephants were eating, and Xiao Ming found it strange how elephants eat with their trunks. He even gave some grass to the elephants, and they took it away with their long trunks, which made Xiao Ming very happy.
After seeing the monkeys and elephants at the zoo, Xiao Ming started to feel a bit tired. He found a tree and rested under it. At this moment, he saw an ice cream truck. He told his mom that he wanted to have ice cream, but his mom said no because it was too expensive and sweet. His mom took out candies and water from Xiao Ming’s backpack and gave them to him.
At four in the afternoon, Xiao Ming and his family left the zoo together. On the way home, he thought that next time, if he sees the ice cream truck, he will ask his dad instead of asking his mom.
