There is a zoo in Edinburgh, Scotland. This winter, there is a magical exhibit at the zoo.

There are 450 lanterns. The lanterns look like mythical animals. The animals are from Scottish and Chinese stories and traditions. Two hundred people from China work on the exhibit. It takes them three months. They use 50,000 metres of fabric. They also use 80,000 lights.

Difficult words: exhibit (an art show), lantern (a model made of paper or fabric with lights inside), mythical (from old stories).
