Capítulo 2: Trip to the zoo

So me and my little sister went to the zoo and my little sister has been wanting to go to the zoo for a while, I finally decided to take her. Her favorite spot at the zoo was the elephant cage. The worker asked if we wanted to see the elephants get fed and my sister obviously said yes. My sister's favorite animal is an elephant. She was so excited to see the elephants get fed. I watched for a bit but then I. turned around to check the map to see where to go next and I decided we were going to look at the flamingos next. When I turned back around my sister was no longer standing behind me watching the elephants. I thought she may have walked to the other side of the cage so I walked around the whole cage but she wasn't there. Next I thought maybe she went to the tiger cage, so I went to the tiger cage and she wasn't there either. So after a few hours of looking for my sister, I found her in the gift shop talking to another little kid that was her friend from school. Now I had never seen this kid before, but she claimed he was a really nice person. I agreed to let them talk a little longer while I bought a surprise gift for her. I went and looked around at the different trinkets trying to decide which one was best. I came across a small rack of stuffed animals. I looked through it till I could find an elephant stuffed animal. After multiple minutes I found a really cute elephant plushie. It was very soft and had a tiny crown on its head. I walked up to the register and asked how much it was. The price ended up being only $10, so I decided to buy it and surprise my little sister with it when we get home. After I bought it I stuck it in my back pack and went back to find where she had gone. I soon found her at a table of little animal key chains. She was looking at one that had a baby elephant and a mother elephant together. "Sissy can i have this?" She asked when she saw me. "No, sorry Lily." I said in a soft tone. She looked angry at me. "Why? It's no fair." She said in an annoyed tone. "Because I can't pay for it. I don't have the money to get it." I say trying to calm her down. Her face began to turn red from anger. She stormed out of the gift shop and headed for the entrance. I chased after her trying to catch up before she left. "Lily slow down." I say calling after her. She sped up running all the way to the car. Once I finally catch up with her I can see she is crying. "I'm sorry Lily. I know you really wanted it but I couldn't afford it." I say as I gently pat her on the head. She stood up without saying anything and got in the car. I sighed and got into the driver's seat. I decide to drive us home after the long day we had. When we got home Lily runs upstairs to her room and slams the door shut. I set my bag on the counter and take out the stuffed elephant I had gotten her. I smile at it sadly and walk upstairs to Lily's room. I set the elephant outside of her room with a small note I had written before I came up. I lightly knock on the door then walk back downstairs to make dinner. Not long after I left I hear her open her door then walk out into the hall. She walks down the stairs and looks at me in the kitchen. She walks over and hugs me quietly whispering into my hip, "i love you sissy"
