Topic: Job at Zoo.

[Den]

I needed a bit of extra money recently and saw that Chester Zoo was advertising for someone to act as a gorilla as their one had died.

I got the job and the keeper gave me the gorilla suit and told me that whatever happened I was to stay in the cage and just make gorilla noises and not do anything else. 

Anyway, all went well that morning but that afternoon a boy came along and threw a lit firework into my cage. 

I was so frightened I jumped out of my cage and into the cage next door. As I turned and looked round I realised I had jumped into the tiger cage and the tiger was slowly coming towards me. 

Forgetting the rule of just making gorilla noises, I started yelling “Help! Help”. 

The tiger leapt at me and pushed me to the ground. 

Then he said “Just shut up or we’ll both lose our jobs!!”
