Chen's Travels
One night, Chen was eating dinner with his mom and dad.
"I have big news," Chen's dad said."In three weeks, we will move to a new town."
Chen's face fell."How far away will we move?" he asked.
"We are only moving fifty miles away.We will be much closer to my new job," Chen's dad said.
"We'll be near your job, but fifty miles is far from the zoo," Chen mumbled.
Chen liked playing baseball.He liked doing puzzles, too.But he liked drawing animals best of all.He liked the feel of the paper beneath his pencil.He liked seeing birds and bobcats take shape in the middle of his notebook pages.
Chen had started drawing animals when he was seven.But now he was ten.His drawing skills got more and more advanced, and Chen knew why.It was because of the time he spent at the zoo.
The city zoo was near Chen's house.Each weekend he took his notebook and pencil and went there to draw.
First he loosened up his hand by drawing circles.Then he sat by the cages and watched the animals.He saw how they moved and how they ate.As he watched, he sketched them in his book.The more he watched, the more capable he became.
