Printed in China This is George. He was a good little monkey and always very curious.

Today George and the man with the yellow hat were visiting the aquarium. ste es Jorge. Es un monito bueno y siente mucha curiosidad por todo. Hoy, Jorge y el seor del sombrero amarillo fueron a visitar el acuario. "George," said the man, "please wait here while I buy the tickets." Jorgele dijo el seor, por favor, esprame aqu mientras voy a comprar las entradas. George tried to wait, but he was so excited! What was inside? Jorge trat de esperar, pero estaba muy entusiasmado! Qu haba all dentro? He wanted to look over the walls, but they were too high.

Quera ver qu haba del otro lado de la pared, pero era muy alta. Just then, he heard a SPLASH! and a WHOOSH!
Water flew high into the air. People cheered.
What could that be? George was curious. De repente escuch SPLASH!
y despus PLAF! El agua subi por los aires.
La gente gritaba. Qu podra pasar?
Jorge sinti curiosidad. He hopped over the gate into the aquarium.
How surprised he was! Dio un salto pasando por arriba de la puerta
y entr al acuario.

Se qued sorprendido! Swimming right in front of George were two beluga whales! The mother and the baby beluga whale swam right past him. Haba dos ballenas beluga nadando justo frente a Jorge! La mam beluga y su beb nadaban frente a l. And not far away was a family of sea lions, diving and splashing. What fun! George noticed people walking toward a big doorcould there be more to see? He followed the crowd. Y no muy lejos de all haba una familia de lobos marinos, zambullndose y salpicando. Qu divertido! Jorge observ que la gente caminaba hacia una gran puerta.

Qu ms se podra ver? Sigui a la multitud. Now where was he? It was darker inside and there were fish everywhere! George did not know where to look first. Dnde estaba? All dentro estaba oscuro y haba peces por todos lados! Jorge no saba por dnde empezar a mirar. In one tank there were sharp-toothed piranhas, En un tanque haba piraas con dientes filosos, in another tank there were seahorses, en otro tanque haba caballitos de mar, and in another tank there was a large red octopus! y en otro tanque haba un pulpo rojo gigante! George saw a group of children across the room. An aquarium staff member was pointing to different sea creatures. "This is a starfish, this is a clam, and this is an urchin." Nearby, there was a long, low, colorful tank.

It was perfect for touching! Jorge vio a un grupo de nios que estaban en el centro de la sala. Un empleado del acuario sealaba diferentes animales marinos. sa es una estrella de mar, sa es una almeja y ste es un erizo. Cerca de all haba un tanque bajo, largo y colorido. Era perfecto para ir a tocarlo! George was curious. As he reached his hand into the water, a large crab came scuttling out from under a rock and right toward his finger! Snap! Ouch! Poor George.

He did not like this exhibit. Jorge sinti curiosidad. Al meter la mano en el agua, un gran cangrejo sali rpidamente de abajo de una piedra, directamente hacia su dedo! Crac! Ay! Pobre Jorge. Ese tanque no le gust. George slipped out a door into the sunlight. But, oh! What was going on here? George saw fat, funny-looking black and white fish flying under the water.

As he watched they flew up out of the water. "What kind of fish does that, and where did they go?" George wondered. Jorge se desliz por debajo de una puerta hacia la luz del sol. Pero... oh! Qu haba all? Jorge vio unos peces gordos y graciosos, blancos y negros, que parecan volar en el agua. Mientras observaba, algunos de ellos volaron fuera del agua.

Qu tipo de peces son stos? Adnde fueron?se pregunt Jorge. George climbed up and into their exhibit. Jorge se meti en el tanque y trep por las rocas. They were not fish at all, but penguins, of course! Claro! No eran peces! Eran pinginos! George hopped like a penguin, Jorge salt como un pingino, flapped his wings like a penguin, alete con sus brazos, como un pingino, and waddled like a penguin. y camin como un pingino.
