Have you ever seen a panda before? I'm sure you did.

    Do you love them? Yes!

    Here is a story of Panda in United States.

    Panda serve as animal ambassadors between the United Stated and China. There are now seven pandas living in United States. They live in Zoo of Atlanta, San Diego and Wanshington D.C.

    Tian Tian is a boy panda. His girl friend is Mei Xiang. Now, they both live in Smithsonian National Park in Washington D.C. people may think panda are lazy because their weight, but panda like to have something to do. Tian Tian and Mei Xiang are most active eating and playing in the morning. They like climbing trees, splashing in their water pool, or enjoy sand bath. In the afternoon, they have a sleep.

    Brenda Morgan is the keeper of the pandas. She said she is very lucky to be working with pandas. She never get tired of looking at them. Everyday, she feeds them four times, weighs them, inspects the yard safety and writes a report what foods and medicines pandas have taken today and what interesting things happened that day.

    Tian Tian and Mei Xiang have a happy life in United States. They eat mainly bamboo there. But they miss China very much! You now, Chinese food always taste more delicious! They miss their homeland Sichuan, they are 1,000 of panda friends still live in Sichuan! They are endangered.

    Tian Tian and Mei Xiang should be proud of themselves. They earn $million a year from their "work" in United States. These money will be used to help other pandas in China.

    You may think panda are wild animals, they don't know how to talk. But they really need to talk and they can talk with people! Tian Tian and Mei Xiang are still leaning English. They are used to Chinese Sounds.

    I believe next time when I see Tian Tian, I can talk to him in English.

    "Hi, Tian Tian, come here."

    "Lift you leg,"

    "Great job!!"
