Toby wakes up when the sun is high. He lets out a very big yawn.

A man named Sam comes to see him. Sam is a kind zookeeper.

He brings Toby a big bowl of meat. Toby eats his breakfast very fast.

He is a very hungry tiger this morning. Toby has a big pool in his home.

The water is cool and blue. He jumps into the pool with a big splash.

He likes to swim in circles. The water feels good on his soft fur.

There is a big yellow ball on the grass. Toby likes to play games.

He pushes the ball with his black nose. He runs fast after the ball.

Playing with his ball makes Toby feel happy. Many children come to see Toby.

They stand behind the clear glass. They wave their hands and smile at him.

Toby looks at the children. He lets out a small roar to say hello.

The children laugh and jump up and down. They think Toby is very cool.

Toby wags his long tail back and forth. He likes to see his friends.

It is a fun day at the zoo. The sun begins to go down now.

The sky turns pink and orange. Toby is tired from his busy day.

He finds a soft spot in the tall grass. He curls up in a big, cozy circle.
