The ABC Animals Zoo Story

Let’s meet all the animals at the ABC Zoo! All of them? Well… The ABC Zoo had animals from A to Y, but there was no one from the letter Z! All the animals wanted the zoo complete, and they missed the Z animal. 

And then, there was a surprise!

The ABC Zoo received a zorilla from Africa. All the animals jumped with joy, “Hurray! Now we have all the animals for our ABC Zoo!” they exclaimed.

But the zookeepers were now scratching their heads! “The zorilla needs a home, where should we make one for her?” they wondered. They started looking for the perfect home for the zorilla, so they started with the house ABCD.

But the house was already full, An aardvark, a boa constrictor, a coyote, and a duck-billed platypus already lived there, and there was no room for a zorilla.

The zookeepers then moved to the EFGH house. The house had an emu, a flamingo, a giraffe, and a hyena living there, and zorilla couldn’t find a home there either!

In the IJKL house, the house was full of an impala, a jellyfish, a koala, and a lemur. Zorilla was sad that she couldn’t find a house there.

A meerkat, a narwhal, an orangutan, and a puma lived in the house MNOP, and the zorilla couldn’t go there, either!

“What do we have in the QRST house?’ wondered the zookeepers. There they had a quetzal, a rhea, a sloth and a tarantula. The zorilla started getting sad now.

In the UVW house, there lived an umbrella bird, a vulture, and a walrus. Zorilla felt terrible, but she didn’t give up!

Lastly, in the XYZ house, there was a Xenopus and a yak. But there was no animal whose name starts with Z, so room Z was empty! Hurray, the zorilla from Africa found her home!
