My name is John. I am a zoo keeper at the D.C zoo. I do not have kids. I have a pet racoon named Tim. I have a bearded dragon named Smaug. I like fantasy books. I like to fly kites. I am not very interested in books. I do not like to read. I have two mustangs.  I like to drive. I have ownership in a grocery store. I have a brother.  I like animals. I grew up by the ocean. I miss the ocean. I enjoy my job. I work with penguins. I sometimes work with polar bears. I am afraid of polar bears. My favorite thing is taking care of baby penguins. Penguins are one of my favorite animals.  I can get free tickets to the zoo. Fantasy is my favorite genre of books. My job requires me to be alert. I have worked at the zoo for a long time. I am reading The Golden Compass. I like fantasy and animals. I own a copy of The Golden Compass. I have never been on the ferry before. I do not get sea sick. I grew up on a lake. I have a father who had a lot of boats. I loved riding on boats and being on the water.
I have 3 kids. My oldest kid is 9. I am considering taking them to the zoo. I love my job. I take a ferry to work. I like being on the water.  My kids come to the library to get books. I am a librarian in a public library. Despite being a librarian I don't read a lot of books. Comedy is my favorite genre of books. I sometimes read on my way to work. I am good at giving book recommendations. I have heard of The Golden Compass but not read it. I live on a small island. I would like speaker 1 to visit.
I finished The Golden Compass! It was so good! I have to bring you my copy when I come visit. That's cool! What did you think of it, and would you reccomend it now that you've finished it? Yes! It was amazing! You definitely have to read it! Have you read any good books lately that you'd recommend? Yes, I loved the His Dark Materials series. It has a lot of colorful urban fantasy taht I think you would love! That sounds great! I definitely have to grab that from my library to read on the ferry to the island. You should bring your kids to the D.C zoo! I think they'd love it, and I could get them in on some action behind the scenes. That's a great idea! I know they would love to come see the animals over there. They've been asking to spend some time somewhere more exciting than the library. It's so exciting that you'll be on the ferry! The views must be wonderful. It'll be great! I've never been on one before, but I'm excited to get back on the water again. What are your kids' favorite animals? Maybe I can get them behind the scenes of those.  How long has it been since you've been on the water? It must be so exciting. That would be so cool! Thank you! They all love big cats, like lions and tigers. My 9 year old especially loves lions. I haven't been since I was a kid and going with my dad, so this will be really exciting! I've been meaning to get a boat, so I can start enjoying the water again. I'll talk to some of my buddies in the cat department about getting them a special tour! Wow, thank you so much! They're going to be so excited to come over. Yeah, you must have so many exciting stories from being on the boats with your dad! I'm so happy for you. Oh yeah I'll tell you all about it when I get to the island! You'll have to show me around! I'm sure there's tons of cool places to see there. Yes, you should definitely come visit the island! It is small but it's a wonderful slice of paradise. And of course you'll have your pick of good books to take home!
