【英语4级听力】给动物们自由-Free the Animals

Henry Lopez took¹ his son Mario to the zoo. Mario loved animals. Henry thought² the zoo would³ make his son happy. Instead⁴, Mario was⁵ very angry. "What's wrong?" asked Henry.

 

"All the animals look so sad," said⁶ Mario. "They want to be free⁷, not stuck⁸ in cages¹⁰." Henry was surprised¹¹. He looked at the tiger in the cage⁹. Mario was right. Henry had¹² never noticed¹³ how sad all the animals looked. By the time Henry looked down at his son, Mario was gone.
