Male Female

I was musing with my family. Actually, during my childhood, I loved animals the most. I had a pet dog at home. My father brought me once to a museum. It was actually a weekend on Sunday. My father brought me along with my family. Inside there, I saw a lot of animals such as tigers, lions, snakes, birds, etc. I found it very fascinating to see them, and it made me very happy. At the same time, when I saw the lion and tiger, it frightened me. My father allowed me to touch some of the animals in the museum, like elephants and some birds inside there. It made me feel very nice. After that, my family brought me some food and ice cream. I would definitely recommend this museum to my friends from my childhood. I recommend it because I found it very interesting to see these animals. Okay, why do you think that children are very much sure?
