15 November 2010
Dear Simin,
How are you? I hope you are fine. We went to the Mirpur Zoo in Dhaka last week. I would like to tell you about that.
My maternal uncle always takes us to different places. Last week he took all of my family members to the Mirpur Zoo in Dhaka. We went there by a micro-bus. We bought our entry tickets. Then we went inside the zoo. We saw the creation of Allah alive with our own eyes. We saw different animals, snakes and birds. Some animals were big and some were small. Some were nice and some were ugly. Some were noisy and some were calm and quiet. Some animals were ferocious and some were fearful too. We found signboards in front of each animal cage. There were names and short description of the animals in the signboards. We felt pity for the captivity of the wild animals. It was really a great experience for us.
Have you recently visited any place? If so, please tell me.
No more today.
Your loving friend, Tanin.
