Last year, my family visited the zoo. Upon arriving, we headed straight to the penguin exhibit. When we got there, we saw a sign that read “Lost Penguin: If found, please call 202-633-4848.” A picture was displayed below the words. I knew what I had to do. As my family was walking toward the bears’ enclosure, I darted off to the café across the way. I snuck into the kitchen and looked for the refrigerator. No sign of the penguin there. I decided to look for a freezer, the kind that is large enough to store food for hundreds, even thousands, of people. When I found it, I was shocked by what I saw inside. I didn’t only find the missing penguin, but I also found several eggs that were almost ready to hatch. I sprinted back to my family; who was now observing the hippopotamuses. I told them everything, and together, we contacted the authorities at the zoo. A few days later, the zoo invited us back to watch the eggs hatch! What is the author’s purpose?
