Old Paul is a polar bear who doesn’t seem interested in anything in the zoo. On the other hand, Mignon, the daughter of a zookeeper, loves the zoo and especially loves to visit Old Paul so much. She always tries to understand what Paul is thinking and how to cheer him up. She wants to be Paul's best friend.

 

Zoo is a pleasure place for family and children to visit and experience the wild nature. However, do people ever think about what animals feel about the zoo? Limited space for moving, steady food supply, and lots of gaze from visitors.

 

Children will try to figure out what Old Paul is thinking with Mignon. They will keep wonder why Paul isn’t interested in anything and what makes him respond. They need to understand that animals don’t choose to live in the zoo by themselves, and human doesn’t have the right to force them either. This story will arouse children to concern more about animals’ feeling. Understanding and caring about every living life.
