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．
