Spring break was finally here. Ken had been waiting it for so long, and he was particularly excited for it because his mother was taking him on a trip to the zoo. On Monday morning, Ken’s mother woke him up, letting him know that they would have to leave for the zoo early if they wanted to see all of the animals of the zoo before closing time at 7:00 pm. It was already 11:00 am, and the zoo was a good hour and a half away from home by car.

After a quick egg, toast and orange juice breakfast, Ken and his mother locked up the house, settled into the car, and were well on their way to the zoo. Ken was so excited, he couldn’t stop asking his mother, “Are we there yet?” After a while, Ken became upset, and was worried that he wouldn’t be able to see all of the animals in the zoo with his mother, because they had hit heavy traffic. It was already 1:00pm and Ken was becoming uneasy. Suddenly the car did not feel the same, as it was pulling to the right. Ken’s mother stopped and got out of the car, only to notice one of the tire was flat.

"Mommy! How are we ever going to make it to the zoo in time to see all of the nice animals now?

"Its OK, Ken. Things happen and if we can’t make it today, we’ll go tomorrow. I am off tomorrow too,” replied Ken’s mother.

"Sure,” said Ken, disappointment in his voice.

Ken sat in the car, listening to the radio as the traffic crawled by. His mom was in the back struggling to get the spare tire out of the trunk when another car seemed to be slowing down and pulled over right in front of theirs. A young man stepped out of the vehicle and headed to where Ken’s mom was. He kindly offered to help, and it took the nice man about 15 minutes to change the flat tire. Ken’s mom thanked the man again and wished him the best of luck. By that time, Ken had realized that going to the zoo this late wasn’t such a good idea.

"So, I guess we’re going tomorrow, right mom?” Ken asked.

"Yes honey, it would be a waste of money to go there at this time.

The next morning ken and his mom got to the zoo early with no problems. Ken got to see all the animals. He enjoyed the monkeys’ section the most. He was amazed as how they can jump from one branch of a tree to another with ease. The noises and faces they made had him laughing out loud. He had lots of fun that day, and he kept talking to his mom about that one specific monkey that he liked a lot all the way home.
