Title: A Fun Day at the Zoo

Yesterday, I went to the zoo with my family. I had conversations with the caretakers, and here are a few things they said:

One caretaker told me, "Don't get too close to the lions, they might get nervous." I told my mom, "The caretaker said not to get too close to the lions because they might get nervous."

Then, I heard someone say, "I love giraffes! They have really long necks." Excitedly, I told my brother, "I heard someone say they love giraffes because they have really long necks."

At the zoo, I also watched a bird show. A trainer asked, "Can anyone imitate the sound of a parrot?" My dad raised his hand and said, "I can imitate the sound of a parrot." Later, I told my friends, "During the bird show, a trainer asked if anyone could imitate the sound of a parrot, and my dad said he could."

I had an unforgettable day at the zoo and shared my experiences and conversations with my family and friends using reported speech.
