    Anthony Mastro

    I guess I have been telling stories all my life but up until ten years ago I never put anything on paper. I started telling the local kids I played with stories of movies I saw. When I was working I told stories to the other men I worked with and later I told my grand children stories I made up on the fly trying to keep them from getting loud in the car waiting for their mother who was in the store. Now that I have the time I try to write something every day. I hope that it is entertaining for you.

      Going to the Zoo

      William's mom works all day and his father is away on business so William goes to day care. He will be five in a month or two and can't wait for the real school to start when he turns six. His mom came home one day and asked if William would like to go to the zoo on Saturday. William was so excited that he jumped up and down asking all kinds of questions. Will we see tigers and bears mom? He asked. Yes, I think so. Said his mom. William couldn't fall asleep that night thinking of the trip to the zoo in the morning. Along about eleven he finely fell asleep.

      In the morning he was the first to get up rushing into his mothers room and jumping onto the bed. Wake up, wake up. It's time to get ready for the zoo. His mom opened one eye and then looking at the clock on the nightstand she said, William, it's only seven. The zoo opens up at ten and we can be there in half an hour.

When the breakfast dishes were washed and put away William put on his jacket and he and his mom got into the family car and drove off to the zoo.

      The drive there seemed to William to be forever. His mother parked the car as close as she could to the entrance. There were a lot of cars there already. William held on to his mother's hand and dragged her along. Come on mom. He said and his mother laughed and walked a little faster. At the main gate his mother paid to get in and got a map of the zoo. Where do you want to start? She asked. William thought a little then said ,lions. I want to see the lions first mom. So William and his mom walked over a little bridge to the lion house. When they walked in the air got a little smelly. What's that smell? Asked William. That's the smell of the lions. She said. They
