Feeding Goats at the Zoo

Last Friday, I was at the Zoo. I went to Kidzworld then we went to see the animals. On the way out it happened to be goat feeding time. The zookeeper tied some Jackfruit leaves and branches on a stick beside the goat pen. The zookeeper said that these goats only eat Jackfruits leaves and branches.


At first I only fed the goat leaves, but later I noticed other people feeding the big branches, too. I tried to feed some branches. The goat stuck it's big pink tongue out and slurpped. When it could reach the branch, it bit the branch, but it didn't chew. It pulled the branch into the fence before it chewed and ate up the branch. Then it dropped the branch just in time to butt it's horns in the neck of another goat who was trying to snatch the branch from it. It didn't take the branch back to eat but instead, it went on a rock and didn't eat anymore!

At the end when the zookeeper came to take the branches away, one goat wanted some more, but it bleated something like "EEEnOUgh! EEEnOUgh!"

To that the zookeeper shook his head and replied, "Ya. Ya. Enough!"
