The Breakout


      I will always remember when my family and I went to the Central Park Zoo. I would have never imagined what happened that day…never.
      One day while my family and I were in Central Park taking a hike, my mom spotted a ticket booth through the bushes. “Yes!” she shouted. She was as happy as a mouse with a ginormous wheel of cheese! “We found the Central Park Zoo!” she exclaimed with excitement. Wait, before I go any further, let me present you to my family.
      For a start, there’s me, Ethan, I am an intelligent 6th grader with an attitude. Next, my brother Christian, a 3rd grader that adores everything. To that end, my dad, Matt, a tranquil and collected gentleman Equally important,my mom, Ida, a genius that can also be a hothead at times. She can be as mean as a bunny without its carrot.
      “Let’s go in!” my mom said. I really just wanted to have a walk around Central Park, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We got in and walked around for a few hours and my brother found the monkeys. “Yes!” he screamed. He idolizes monkeys for some odd reason. I really can’t figure it out it’s almost puzzling. “Calm down son, you’re going to have a heart attack.” my dad said smoothly.
      Afterwards, we decided to go to the Penguin Cafe to eat some Penguin Pizza and some drinks. Suddenly, the intercom turned on,”Beeeeep!” and a woman said, “Excuse me travelers,please walk calmly out of the zoo, we are having some difficulties with the animals. Do Not Panic!” We looked behind us and a lion was setting all of the animals free! People were being trampled everywhere but I knew what to do.
      I walked in front of the animals and my whole family shrieked,”Ethan Nooo!” The whole group of animals took a good look at me and the lion stepped in front. He had drool dripping out of his humongous mouth. Then, I pointed a laser at the cages and the animals put themselves back in their cages. Although everyone thought of me as a hero, I told my family,”We should’ve gone on a nature walk!” We all laughed.
      After the escape I felt relieved, I walked away with my head held up high. Wait a minute, what’s that ginormous shadow?! It turns out the escape wasn’t over yet.
