A Zoo Story

If you visit the City Zoo, put your keys in your pocket! That's the advice of Lorraine Williams of South Portland, who visited the zoo

with her children on Saturday. While they were eating lunch, a big black crow landed on their table. It began to dance. The children laughed and shouted. Ms Williams jumped up and dropped her purse. The crow stopped and picked something up and flew away. Everybody laughed.

When they were ready to go home, Ms Williams looked for her car keys in her purse, but they weren't there. The children went to look for the keys. While they were looking around, Ms Williams went to the zoo office. "Keys?" asked the man in the office．

"Oh, yes. We have keys.' And he showed her ten sets of keys. "That crow loves to take keys."
