Hi there, guys! Welcome to the next part, Words in Use 2 for lesson 30 of 504 Absolutely Essential Words. Our story for this lesson.

“Bible Zoo”

One of the most popular* tales of the Bible depicts* the great flood that destroyed every mortal* except Noah and his family and the animals on his ark. Should there be a repetition* of that disaster*, there is one place where all the biblical animals are already gathered.

The man to be commended* for this novel* collection is Professor Aharon Shulov, a zoologist at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. Professor Shulov appointed* himself a committee of one to search out the 130 creatures mentioned in the Old Testament. Among the occupants* of this zoo are crocodiles, camels, apes, peacocks, deer, foxes, and sheep, some of whom had to be imported from other lands.

They are settled in suitable quarters* on a twenty-five acre site* in Jerusalem. Visitors to the zoo not only get to view and feed the animals, but they are also treated to quotes* from Bible verses* that encourage* the study of the Good Book and teach morality* amidst the waddling of the ducks and the wailing* of the wolves.

Not surprisingly, the children have the final* word at a special corner of the zoo, called the Garden of Eden, where animal cubs roam* freely, attracting* the attention of hundreds of youngsters who visit daily.

Alright, our story for lesson 30 is finished. See you in the next part, good luck!
