Would you like to adopt（收养）an animal? Although this sounds very unusual, some children have done this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animals that live in the zoo. Any person can adopt a zoo animal by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $900 a year for the food for Brocky.

Not many boys and girls have $900 to spend. That’s why several hundred children and grown-ups each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food. Many of the children sent the money which they had earned. Some children sent only a quarter because that was all the money they had, other children sent more money than that.

Since so many people have sent money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food, he now will be able to eat as much as he wants. Brocky surely must be a happy tiger to know that they have helped to feed him. It really will be exciting for those children to go to the Natural Zoo to visit their adopted tiger Brocky.
