was somewhere here, but we can’t find it.
– Across the road, over there. There’s an underground passage there, that one, see?
– Oh, yes, thank you very much. And we would like to know… Are there any bears there?
– In the Zoo or in the passage?
– In the Zoo, of course.
– Yes, you’re lucky, there are. Even more than one. They have both Brown Bear and Polar Bear. As for the Brown one, it can be treated by something delicious. You know, visitors usually buy some cookies in the foodstuff shop, which is next to the underground passage. Tell the salesgirl that you want to buy something for the Bear, and she’ll give you his favorite cookies.
– Turns out it’s a tamed bear?
– Seems to be, yeah. Years ago, it worked in a Circus, used to ride a bike. Then it got too old to do all those tricks. But anyway be careful and don’t climb over the fence, you never know what might be on it’s mind. There’s also a tamed baby elephant there. You can actually patt his trunk and you can even get a ride on his back!
– Thank you very much!
– You’re welcome. Have a good time.
– Excuse me, could you tell us where the zoo is? We were told it's somewhere around here but we can’t seem to find it though.
– Across the road, over there. There’s an underground passage there, that one, see?
– Yes, thank you very much. And… Are there any bears there?

– At the zoo, of course.
– Yes, there are. There is a brown bear and even a polar one. As for the brown one, it can be treated with something delicious. Visitors usually buy cookies in that food stall over there close to the underground passage. Tell the salesgirl that the food is for the bear, and she’ll give you his favorite cookies.
– Turns out that’s a tame bear?
– Yes, it is. Years ago that bear had worked in a circus riding a bike and then got too old. But in any case, you shouldn't climb over the fence, since nobody knows what’s on its mind. There’s a tame elephant cub there also. That one can be patted on its trunk and ridden on.
– Thank you very much!
– Have a good time.
