PRESENTATION OUTLINE
I live in a jungle,
With lots of leaves and trees and a family.
I love my family.
I like to go and play with my brother, while my mother and father get food. I love to play tag with him
One day I was playing tag with my brother, Tay we were trying to be careful because we were close to a village full of humans
I was running from him and I fell.
I fell in a pit.
Tay went to go get mother and father.
I lay, in the hole.
They did not come back. At least for a while.
I lay in the dark, I hear a noise. A footstep.
A human, a young girl. She saw me and her eyes were wide. She ran back out into the distance.
I wait some more. I hear another footstep, another. Three other humans come and look at me.
They were carrying a wooden contraption.
They pulled me out. My parents and Tay came a few minutes later.
They gave us bamboo and told us to be safe. We went back into the jungle.
Some days later I was alone in my comfy spot thinking about those people. When all of a sudden I heard a noise. A footstep, a human footstep.
I get up and look who it is a net falls, a needle pushes and I fall into blackness.
I wake up, in a lonely cage, alone from my family.
And I knew at that moment I was alone, and would never see my family again.
I sat and stared.
For a year it seemed.
I waited, until I heard noises, weird noises the sounds of a Jingle.
A human, a old human brought me weird looking things. He attached them to my feet. Tried to not let him but he got them.
I called them suckups. They held on to my feet even if I tried to get them off. I hated them.
They were in my legs for months,
Lots and lots of months.
Soon, the same old human took them off, but stuffed me into a weird looking thing with wheels.
THE WEIRD THING WITH WHEELS
They stuffed me into darkness, loneliness. For a long time I sat, constantly in blackness.
I thought lots in the darkness. Lots about humans. About how some humans are bad and some humans are good.
Just like animals,
I guess.
I arrived at the big top mall scared and hungry, I heard weird noises when they opened the door holding the light.
Stella, the elephant brought me out. She brought me into a glass box, where I lay and fall asleep.
Ivan is my friend he is a gorilla. Bob the dog sleeps on his belly. They both like to sleep a lot but Ivan tells story's.
He tells me story's of his memory's, and I listen. One day Stella was not feeling well, she was sleeping but never got up. I got Ivan.
Stella has died Ivan and bob and I are all sad, including me Stella helped me. Ivan says stick with the future not the past.
Ivan is painting paintings for me, he says treasure them always, I am going to get you to the zoo.
Long night, Ivan woke me up he said we are both going to the zoo, and we will never see Bob again. I kind of know what a zoo is, Stella told me once, it is where she has always wanted to go.
While we waited for the men to come get us, I thought about Bob where would he go? And mack, the mall owner what would he do? And Stella.
I think Stella might be at the zoo. With all her friends, maybe it is her heaven. And Julia that little girl who drew pictures of me, she will be a artist when she grows up I know it.
The humans loaded me into another thing with wheels, I jumped in carelessly because I know I was going somewhere great cause that's what Stella said.
The zoo is awesome! I reunited with my family Tay, and my parents I also have a domain right next to Ivan's, and Bob is with him too. With other gorillas!
