Time flies. My summer vacation ended in the blink of an eye, but one thing is still on my mind. From July 25 to 27, I worked as a volunteer at the Wolong China Giant Panda Garden in Sichuan. I experienced the life of being a panda keeper.
My work included cleaning the pandas' home, feeding the pandas and making food for them. The panda I took care of was named Jingke. When I went to feed him, he would stretch（伸出） one of his forefeet out on a shelf that hung on the fence and wait for his food. He would quickly grab the food as soon as I brought it to him. Can you guess what would happened next? Jingke would lie down and begin to eat. I could hear him crunching（嘎吱作响地咀嚼） on his food and see him twisting his body around like a dancer. It was really cute. This was one of the most interesting things I saw when I worked there.
When I fed Jingke, I touched his fur（毛）. Most people think that panda's fur would be soft. But actually, panda's fur is very hard. I felt like I was touching needles. I looked at his teeth, too﹣ they were sharp and big. No wonder the panda keepers told us that pandas are not only cute, but also dangerous.
I am happy to be so close to the pandas. This experience lets me know that it is no easy to be a panda keeper.
