One Saturday, Ana and Pablo were the two lucky children who got to work at the zoo. Their job was to help the busy Zookeeper. It was up to them to make sure that all the animals got plenty of fresh food to eat for their dinner. Ana gave the hungry monkeys some yellow bananas for their dinner. The children watched the youngest monkeys climb up high into the trees to eat the yummy bananas.

一个星期六，安娜和巴勃罗是两个幸运的孩子，他们在动物园工作。 他们的工作是帮助忙碌的动物园管理员。 他们有责任确保所有的动物都有足够的新鲜食物作为晚餐。 安娜给了饥饿的猴子一些黄香蕉当晚餐。 孩子们看着最小的猴子爬到高高的树上吃美味的香蕉。

Next, Ana and Pablo went to give the seal family their dinner. When the seal family saw Pablo and the Zookeeper holding their fish, they made a lot of noise to make sure they got enough dinner. It was a lot of fun to throw the slippery fish to the seals and watch them catch the fish with their mouths.

接下来，安娜和巴勃罗去给海豹一家准备晚餐。 当海豹一家看到巴勃罗和动物园管理员拿着他们的鱼时，他们发出了很大的声音，以确保他们有足够的晚餐。 把滑溜溜的鱼扔给海豹，看着它们用嘴抓鱼，真是太有趣了。

The zebras had a nice open place to live in with enough room for them to move around. Ana and Pablo gave them some clean hay to have for their dinner. All of the zebra family came over to eat the hay, while Ana and Pablo held it out for them. Even the youngest Zebra liked eating the clean hay.

斑马住在一个很好的开阔的地方，有足够的空间让它们四处走动。 安娜和巴勃罗给了他们一些干净的干草作为晚餐。 斑马家族的所有成员都过来吃干草，而安娜和巴勃罗则为他们提供干草。 即使是最小的斑马也喜欢吃干净的干草。

They all went to feed the elephants fresh plants and vegetables next. Elephants are big animals, so they needed plenty to eat. Even the youngest elephant could eat a full box of vegetables all by itself. The elephant family took a long time to finish all their food, but Ana and Pablo didn't mind. It was fun to watch them using their long trunks to eat their dinner.

他们都去喂大象新鲜的植物和蔬菜。 大象是大型动物，所以它们需要大量的食物。 即使是最小的大象也能独自吃下一整盒蔬菜。 大象一家花了很长时间才吃完所有的食物，但安娜和巴勃罗并不介意。 看着它们用长鼻子吃晚餐很有趣。

The parrots were very loud and very happy when they saw the children coming to give them their dinner. The Zookeeper stayed still and put his arms out, and lots of noisy parrots landed on him. One parrot even sat on Ana's head! The children fed the parrots seeds and nuts out of their hands until they had eaten enough. It was very noisy.

当鹦鹉看到孩子们来给它们吃晚饭时，它们非常高兴，非常大声。 动物园管理员一动不动地伸出双臂，许多吵闹的鹦鹉落在他身上。 一只鹦鹉甚至坐在安娜的头上!孩子们用手中的种子和坚果喂鹦鹉，直到它们吃饱为止。 很吵。
