Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, remember the poem "At the Zoo" we read? It talked about all those different animals.

Jaeyi: Yeah! The one by William Makepeace Thackeray. I liked the part about the lion shaking his mane.

Jaegyum: Me too! I was reading this explanation online, it's in Korean but I can kind of understand some of it. It says the poem shows how the animals are all different and interesting in their own way.

Jaeyi: Like the big elephant and the little birds?

Jaegyum: Exactly! And the poem also makes you think about where the animals come from, all those "burning sands" and faraway places.

Jaeyi: It made me feel a little sad that they're in cages, even though the poem doesn't say that exactly. It just describes them.

Jaegyum: I get what you mean. It's cool to see them, but you also wonder if they miss their homes. The poem just focuses on what they look like and what they do.

Jaeyi: It was a fun poem though. Which animal did you like the best?

Jaegyum: Probably the lion, because of his "royal look." What about you?

Jaeyi: I liked the monkey, because it was "grotesque" and funny! The poem had some interesting words.

Jaegyum: It did! It made me want to learn more about all the animals.

Jaeyi: Me too! Maybe we can go to the zoo again soon?

Jaegyum: Definitely! And this time, we can remember the poem while we see the real animals.
