Chapter 15 Chapter 15 At the Zoo

The residents of Baihua City haven't built a zoo for themselves yet, so Quan Zhi and his friends have never been to a zoo.They imagined the cages of the beasts to be some big, dark, iron boxes with bars; in reality they were very handsome, very pretty little houses, set among green grass and flowers, with roofs painted in various colors, It is bright and eye-catching, and there are iron fences in front of each small house, so the beasts locked in the small houses can see clearly.In addition to these, there are some pools and tanks in the zoo, which live in various waterfowl, as well as water animals like seals and hippos.The birds live in wide wire cages.Some birds, like peacocks and turkeys, can neither swim nor fly, so let them go about where they please.There are also rockery and "cliffs" in the center of the zoo, where goats and sheep climb up and down.

As soon as he entered the zoo, he opened his eyes wide and looked at all kinds of animals without knowing it, trying to find the little book page that he turned into a donkey.He wanted to turn it back into a little man as soon as possible, because his conscience was constantly tormenting him and would not give him any peace. The little pushpin also looked around at the animals with interest and was amazed.She has a good heart, so she always said sadly: "Oh, how poor you are! Why are you put in cages? You must really want to go for a walk..." But, as usual, Xiao Hualian didn't feel surprised about anything, but kept as far away from the cage as possible.Seeing the wolf, he said, "What's the matter with the wolf! It's just a big dog."

Seeing the tiger, he said, "It's just a big cat. It's nothing to be afraid of." "It's nothing to be afraid of? Then you can get closer." Quan Zhi said. "I can't see clearly when I'm close. I'm farsighted." There is a soda kiosk not far from the tiger's cage. There is no salesperson in the soda kiosk. Whoever wants to drink soda can just go over and press the button, and the soda will automatically fill a glass.Xiao Hualian saw it and said: He is very hot and wants to drink some juice soda. "Okay then, you can give it a try." Quan Zhi agreed.They walked to the soda kiosk and saw a row of faucets with buttons on the counter.

"Which button should I press?" Xiao Hualian asked inexplicably. "Well, follow the one with the cherry on it." Quan Zhi suggested. Xiao Hualian pressed the button with a red cherry painted on it with his fingers, and immediately a clean glass popped out from the round hole under the faucet, and a stream of pink cherry juice soda flowed into it beeping.Xiao Hualian drank the soda in satisfaction, and put the cup back under the faucet.Immediately another round hole opened on the counter, and the glass fell into it again. "Look!" Xiaohua said aggrievedly. "I want another drink!"

"Then you can press the button again!" suggested the little thumbtack. Xiao Hualian pressed the button with an orange painted next to it.Another clean cup popped out from the hole, and a gust of orange-yellow orange soda filled the cup, and Xiao Hualian drank it again. "Well, this time I'm going to press the lemon," he said. "I pressed cherries on the noodles." Quan Mo said. "I drew strawberries," said the little thumbtack. Everyone pressed their buttons and drank their sodas.Finally, the soda started to gurgle in Xiaohualian's stomach, and the decomposed carbon dioxide rushed straight into his nose.Xiao Hualian said that he didn't want to drink for the time being.So they went on and soon came to the monkey cage.Monkeys are very lively, dexterous and amusing animals.Their cages are equipped with ladders, climbing poles, swings and seesaws.The monkeys climbed up and down poles, swung on swings, and clung to ladders with great dexterity, even using their tails.A monkey found a small mirror from nowhere, took it and ran all over the cage without letting it go for a moment.It looks in the mirror from time to time and makes that grimace that makes people laugh.Quan didn't know that seeing this monkey, he laughed and said that it looked like a little painted face.

"It doesn't look like it at all!" Xiao Hualian was angry. "It has a tail, and I don't have any." The two of them quarreled.Xiao Hualian became angry: "I'm going to tell Thumbtack that you turned a little man into a donkey." "You dare to say it! Didn't you promise not to say anything? You traitor!" Quan Zhi shook his fist at Xiao Hualian and said in a low voice. "Don't make noise, don't make noise! ​​I'm not ashamed!" Little Pushpin frowned. "You don't care about face in front of monkeys! Let's get out of here!"

"I don't want to leave here!" Xiao Hualian muttered angrily. "What's the matter with you? Do you have to watch monkeys all day long? We have to watch elephants!" The friends decided to go and see the elephants.On the way they saw a low fence, behind the fence there was a shed, and beside the shed stood a gray donkey.Its ears are long, its big eyes are very sad, and it shakes its head sadly, as if thinking about something.When Xiaohualian saw the donkey, he giggled, touched it with his arm and said, "Look, your donkey." "Shut up!" Quan Zhi yelled at him in a low voice. "Don't talk, understand?"

"You are really like two geese, what are you chattering about?" asked the little thumbtack. "We don't have twitter." Xiao Hualian replied. "I'm just saying it's probably the donkey the papers are talking about." After seeing the donkey, the travelers continued to walk forward, and after a few minutes, they came to the elephant cage.It was hard enough to see the elephant, because there was a crowd of little people standing around the cage, and Little Thumbtack was trying to squeeze into the crowd, and Little Face followed her into the crowd. Unaware that he was alone, he immediately turned around and ran towards the place where he saw the donkey just now.

The donkey remained behind the fence.It just moved closer to the gate.Little Wuzhi looked around and found no one around, so he took out the magic stick from his bosom, waved it and said, "I want this donkey to turn back into a villain again." Before he could finish his sentence, the donkey stood up on its hind legs and straightened up... He was no longer a donkey, but an out-and-out little boy.He wore a narrow, short-sleeved green jacket, baggy yellow-green trousers, and on his head a beautiful sky-blue bonnet with orange-yellow dots like peas and an orange tassel on the top.A long lock of forehead hair was exposed from under the hat, and it just hung on the forehead and covered it to the center of the brow.

The little man didn't know what to look at, and skillfully spit out a mouthful of saliva from between his teeth, blew his nose loudly, and wiped his nose vigorously with his fist.His fist was big, but his nose was as small as a button and covered with freckles.After finishing these actions, the little boy kicked open the gate with his legs, walked out from inside, paused, and turned around to see nothing.His small eyes gleamed defiantly, his long upper lip turned up to his nose, and his mouth was wide enough to barely reach his ears.The donkey who passed by just smiled at Quanzhi, stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets, and walked away swaggeringly.Quan Wu stared at his back for a long time, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.Conscience stopped tormenting him and fell silent.He happily ran back to find his traveling companions.

When Quan was not there, the little thumbtack squeezed to the elephant cage and looked at the elephant carefully.She was amazed at the size of this strange animal.But what surprised her even more was the long trunk in front of the elephant, which could hold all kinds of things like a hand.But Xiao Hualian is afraid of approaching such a big animal.He was always milling around in the crowd, looking at the elephant from behind the other spectators.As a result, all he saw was the elephant's head with its big ears hanging on either side.Xiao Hualian felt that seeing these was enough, so she squeezed out from the crowd.I didn't know that I just came back at this time. "Hey, did you see the elephant?" He asked Xiao Hualian. "Hey, nothing strange!" Xiao Hualian waved her hands. "Everyone just yells 'Elephants, elephants,' but what's there to see? Just ears!" At this time, the little thumbtack squeezed out from the crowd: "Where have you been? I don't know. Why don't you look at the elephant?" "Hey, why do I still need to see my ears? Let's go drink soda again!" said Quan Mo. "Yes!" Xiao Hualian was happy. "I don't know why I still like to drink." But the little thumbtack didn't want to go. "You guys go! I'll sit on the bench here and wait for you." After saying that, she sat down on the long barrel by the roadside. Quan Shi and Xiao Hualian walked towards the soda booth. "Tell you, little blushing face, I've turned that donkey into a little man!" Quan Zhi boasted. "Ah..." Xiaohualian drew a long tone. "No wonder I don't know where you went!" After a minute, they walked to the fence again, and Xiao Hualian saw a donkey on the inside of the roof leaning against the railing. "You've become really good!" Xiao Hualian smiled. "It's still standing there!" "Who's standing there?" I didn't know and was very surprised. "You donkey!" "Ah, what a hell!" Seeing the donkey looking at him nonchalantly and blinking lazily, he yelled angrily. "It can't be, he can't be a donkey again. Listen, maybe it's not the donkey?" "Yes!" Xiaohualian understood. "That's probably the other end. Maybe it came out of the shed." "Fortunately let us see." Quan Mo said. "Maybe this is the end I was looking for, and what I just changed was the other end..." "That's right!" Xiao Hualian continued. "Probably, perhaps, of course it is that end; perhaps on the contrary, that end is not that end, and this end is that end..." "Wait a minute, these donkeys are confusing me," interrupted Quan Wu. "I'd better turn it into a villain too." "Yes." Xiao Hualian completely agreed, he really wanted to see how the donkey turned into a little man. Quan Wu waved his magic stick and said, "I want this donkey to become a villain!" Before Quanzhi and Xiao Hualian could blink, the donkey in front of them disappeared, and a little man appeared.He wore the same jacket with tight sleeves, and the same bonnet with tassels on top, only the blouse was fiery red instead of green, and the bonnet was light blue with white spots instead of blue. , Where are the pants?Still that disgusting yellow-green color.The face of this little man was also quite like the first one; the same small black eyes, long hair hanging on his forehead, an overgrown upper lip, and a small freckled nose, except that the first one was only slightly different. There are freckles on the nose, and this guy has freckles all over his nose and cheeks around his nose. The little man looked around inexplicably, shrugged his freckled nose, shook his head, and seemed to be sneezing or sniffing.He didn't see it all, and he didn't look at Xiaohualian, he just walked towards the fence and crawled over it, disappearing. Seeing this strange change, Xiao Hualian was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.It wasn't until the little man disappeared outside the fence that he asked, "Is that the one?" "What—that?" I don't know. "Well, it's the little man you turned into a donkey, isn't it?" "The devil knows about him!" Quan Zhi spread his hands. "I've forgotten what that was like. That's fine, one of the two is always that... Wait, what's there?" he yelled. "My God! It's another donkey!" Xiaohualian couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw a head with long ears protruding from the door of the barn. "That's terrible!" Omniscient yelled. "I have to change into another..." "Wait a while!" Xiao Hualian said. "I think it's not a donkey, it's a horse." "You're talking nonsense! Horses are much bigger." "That's right." Xiao Hualian agreed. "It looks like a horse from one side, and a donkey from the other. Maybe it's just a big donkey." "Hey, I don't have time to get entangled with them!" Quan Zhi said. "Change it and you're done. There's another little man." Just as they were talking, the donkey walked out of the shed and walked towards them.Little Wuzhi quickly waved the magic wand in front of its nose: "I want this donkey to become a little man" Finish this sentence.He just closed his eyes.When he opened his eyes, the donkey was gone, and there was a little man standing in front of him.He was exactly the same as the previous two, only taller and had the same long lips, but his freckles were not only on the nose and around the nose, but all over his face, even on his fists.He approached the fence, gazed at the ignorant, and asked sharply: "Where are Lumpy and Pinky?" "What are Little Luan Kick and Little Flower Horse?" Quan Zhi was terrified. "Hmph, two donkeys, didn't you see there were two donkeys here just now?" "I didn't see it!" Quan Wu panicked. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to hit the forehead?" "What - hit the forehead?" I don't know. "Just watch!" The little man stretched his freckled hand over the bars, and slapped Omniscient on the forehead so hard that he almost fell over. "Oh, that's right!" Quan Zhi gasped for breath and exclaimed. "What do you want to fight? Then I'll let you see! Let you see!" "What did you say?" cried the little man. "Look at me, I'll settle your score!" He immediately climbed over the fence, not knowing that he ran away without waiting for a beating.Xiao Hualian ran behind him.They rushed across the cage like shooting stars, and the new little figure, panting loudly like a horse, trotted after them.If the little man hadn't tripped over a tree root and fell halfway, the chase would not have ended.He got up from the ground, and saw that Quan Zhi and Xiaohualian had already run far away, and could not catch up again. "I'll show you!" he cried. "We will have a date later! I will make you submissive!" After he waved his big fist to frighten him without realizing it, he put his hands into the pockets of his large yellow-green trousers, and walked away waddlingly.Knowing nothing and Hualian felt that the danger was over, they hurried back to the little thumbtack. "Where have you been wandering?" he asked angrily. "I've been wanting to find you guys." "A mad donkey followed us after us," replied Quan Mo. "What mad donkey?" "I'll tell you later!" "That's a good thing to say—'Wait a minute'! No, you say it now!" Knowing nothing, he had to admit that he had turned the little page into a donkey, and told everything that had happened. "Look, you don't know, what a savage you are!" said Little Pushpin after he had finished speaking. "Is the magic stick given to you just to let you turn the little man into a donkey?" "I'm not savage, little thumbtack! I've been tormented for this little page, and for the little letters. Honestly, I've had enough of my conscience! Don't you be angry. Didn't it all end well? Now the little pages may have gone back to the little letters." "It's a good thing we saw in the newspaper where to find the little pages," said little pushpin.
