1. As it was almost a holiday event for the family we were in our best frocks. 2. You guessed right - the holiday was spoiled. 3. The day on which Daddy took us to the Zoo was a very bright and lovely Sunday. 4. Suddenly a car pushed past us - splashing us with dirty sprays of water from the nearest pool. 5. The Zoo being close to our house we walked there. 6. We had been looking forward to go there for the whole week.
