I have never climbed a tall mountain,

but I have slid down Mount Pit.

I have never grown a tree,

but I have planted a sunflower seed in my garden.

I have never flown in a plane to Spain,

but I have travelled to Ipswich by train.

I have never seen a monitor lizard,

but I have  observed a monkey chewing a banana in Banham Zoo.

I have never touched a rhinos thick skin,

but I have held a snake at South Angle Farm.

I have never stroked a jaguar,

but I have petted my cat Meg.

I have never seen an elephant drink from a lake,

but I have watched my sister’s rats drink.

I have never listened to a lion roar,

but I have heard my sister’s cat meow.

I have never seen a volcano erupt,

but I have watched a monkey swing from branch to branch at Swallow Aquatics.

I have never touched a monkey,

but I have poked a starfish at Sea Life Centre.
