Lionel said that elephants ran very fast, Frankie thought that it was impossible. “They’re too big to run fast”, he said.

Then Lionel took Frankie to see the dolphins.

The dolphins swam in their pool and did tricks. Frankie gave the dolphins some fish. They ate the fish very quickly. Frankie was hungry but he didn’t think that the fish were good to eat so they went to the shop at the zoo.
