Not sure if that would be allowed haha. Do you like football????
Speaker 1
Yes but I like baseball more.

Speaker 1
My work at the zoo just got a new animal!
Speaker 2
So cool! What kind? Does it have a name?
Speaker 1
I know!!  The Giraffe's name is Charlie.
Speaker 2
I love giraffes. They are so beautiful to watch. They seem so chill and mellow.
Speaker 1
He absolutely is.  I am excited to get to work with him.  I've never really worked with giraffes before.  How's school going?
Speaker 2
They love to eat lettuce. Bring him lettuce and you will be fast friends. School is going great! I think I will make a great accountant when I am done.
Speaker 1
I love salads so he is in good company.  We can share my lunch!  Accounting seems like a good plan.  I struggle doing my taxes so I could use your help! 
Speaker 2
Once I have my CPA, I sure will! My grandparents are most excited about the help with their taxes too :)
Speaker 1
I will definitely take you up on that!  That's great you will be able to help your grandparents.  My grandparents have all passed away.  I miss them.  
Speaker 2
I am so grateful to be able to live with them and spend so much quality time with them. How old were you when yours passed?
Speaker 1
By the time I was 17, they had all passed.  Luckily I was able to spend a lot of time with them during my childhood.  We used to watch Yankee games together, Do they also like the Cowboys?
Speaker 2
They are huge Cowboys fans. They got me into the team!

Speaker 1
I made a video of my pet racoon for you. I'll send you a link.
Speaker 2
I'd like to see that.  How old is Charlie?
Speaker 1
Charlie's doing great! I'll let you feed him if you ever make it down my way!
Speaker 2
I think that would be very interesting.  What do giraffes eat anyway?  
Speaker 1
Acacia leaves, and lots of them too. A carrot might be a bit easier for a beginner to feed a giraffe. Otherwise, you might get a giraffe tongue on your hand!
Speaker 2
I think that would be OK.  I would prefer not to have an encounter with  the giraffe's teeth though.  Is it safe to fee them?
Speaker 1
Oh don't worry, Charlie's been trained. He wouldn't bite your fingers. His tongue is pretty long and that's what he uses to grab his food up.
Speaker 2
OK then sounds safe enough.  How long have you been working with this particular animal?
Speaker 1
About four months. I often give Charlie some of my salads haha.
Speaker 2
I bet he likes that quite a lot.  Does the zoo have any friends for Charlie or is he the only giraffe they keep?
Speaker 1
Just Charlie. Sadly, we can't take on any more giraffes unless we find one to rescue. That's rare though.
Speaker 2
I would imagine that's true.  I can't imagine how complicated it must be to transport one even after it is recued.

You wouldn't believe what Charlie the giraffe just did!
Speaker 2
Oh yeah? What is he up to this time!?
Speaker 1
He started running laps around his habitat! I wish I had that much energy!!
Speaker 2
Haha, what are you feeding him? There must be something good in that giraffe food.
Speaker 1
He just eat's acacia leaves and I am pretty sure they are poisonous to humans! Maybe it's something in the water!
Speaker 2
Yeah it might be. How many other animals do you take care of there?
Speaker 1
We have lots of animals! I only work with the safari animals though! What's your favorite animal?
Speaker 2
I have always loved birds, especially birds of prey. Probably hawks or eagles.
Speaker 1
That's super cool! We have both of those at the zoo but I don't work with them directly!
Speaker 2
Besides giraffes, what is your favorite animal?
Speaker 1
I would say a bearded dragon would be my favorite for sure!
Speaker 2
Those aren't native in the US are they? Aren't they from Central America or something?

Bearded dragons are my favorite animals. I no longer go to school. I enjoy eating salads. I am not good at doing taxes. My grandparents are all deceased. I used to watch baseball with my grandparents. I prefer baseball to football. I share my salads with the giraffe. I take care of all of the safari animals. I don't work directly with birds. I work at the zoo. I am not a high energy person.
Speaker 2
I work in a pizza shop. I am a huge fan of Dallas Cowboy. I go to college. I am studying to be an accountant. I live with my grandparents. I like giraffes. Hawks or eagles are my favorite animals, but I like all birds. I don't know a lot about bearded dragons.
Speaker 1
Charlie has been up to his usual antics; he literally picked up a child that was feeding him! The kid was fine but the parents were freaked out!
Speaker 2
I assume Charlie is an animal at the Zoo you work at.  What kind of animal is he?
Speaker 1
Charlie is the new giraffe we got at the zoo.  I'm working with him.  I thought I told you that before.
Speaker 2
You may have.    I was just a little take back by the fact that a child was picked up by an animal. LOL.  what is your favorite animal to work with there.
Speaker 1
Well the bearded dragons are my absolute favorite.  But working with all the animals is rewarding.  Right now I most like the animals that don't create potential lawsuits for harming guests to the zoo.
Speaker 2
Isn't that the truth! LOL.    I love animals...especially birds.   Maybe you can get Charlie to help you with your taxes! LOL  
Speaker 1
Yes, at this point I'd take help from anyone or anything with my taxes.  How do you file your taxes?  Or have you not had to file a return yet?
Speaker 2
I usually go to H&R Block to get help from them.   I have to itemize so it makes me so nervous.   I have not filed yet but they do have all of my paperwork and are working on it for me.   You should try to use them also.   I have never had any issues going through them to file.
Speaker 1
Thanks for the recommendation.  I might try that.  I dread every tax season so it would be nice to have someone whom I trust to take the burden from me.
Speaker 2
I hear you.   Did you watch the baseball game with the Braves the other night?
Speaker 1
Yes, I did.  The Braves have been disappointing so far this year but I think they're starting to get going.
Speaker 2
I agree.   Though whether they do go or not I am always a die hard Braves fan!  Who is your favorite team?
