"Cat-gypt"

On an island on the Nile River there is a botanic garden. A botanic garden is kind of like a museum of plants and trees.

One interesting thing about this Egyptian botanic garden is that there were many cats living in the garden. As many of you know, I love cats, so I had a great time seeing all the plants, trees and
cats!





I bought a black alabaster cat from a souvenir seller on the island and named it "Ra," which was the name of the ancient Egyptian god of the sun. Ra is very heavy; I'll bring it to school someday and you can try to lift him yourself.

I introduced Ra to some of the curious cats at the garden:

Here's Ra enjoying a boat ride back to the side of the Nile.
