Dear Mr. Lion,
    I know your name from the newspaper. I want to make friends with you. Now I can tell you all about
me.
    I'm a five-year-old tiger. I live in the zoo. I drink milk every day and I usually have pork and chicken.
People think I'm very strong. But I think I'm not good in health. I can't run like a dog. I can't fight like a
wolf(狼). My clothes are not colorful.    
     People feed the pigs and chickens with some hormone (激素). I don't think I can eat any food. But
I feel hungry. I think about it for a long time, and I have a good idea later. I can eat grass and take
exercise every day. I think I can be the healthiest tiger in the world. Do you agree with me?
    Please write to me soon.
                                                                                                                                           Yours,
