According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any _3_ was not the conventional “mamma” or “daddy”,_4_ the word “zoo”, which I would_ 5_ over and over again with a shrill _6_ until someone, ins groups to _7_ me up, would take me to the zoo. When I _8_ a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great _9_ of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare time _10 _the countryside in search of fresh specimens to _11_ to my collection of pets._12_ on I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student _13_ , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches,_14_ were not easy to keep at home.
