The Zoo Job Story
One day a clown was visiting the zoo and attempted to earn some money by making a street
performance. He acted and mimed perfectly some animal acts. As soon as he started to drive a
crowd, a zoo keeper grabbed him and dragged him into his office. The zoo keeper explained to
the clown that the zoo's most popular gorilla had died suddenly and the keeper was fear that
attendance at the zoo would fall off. So he offered the clown a job to dress up as the gorilla until
the zoo could get another one. The clown accepted this great opportunity. So the next morning
the clown put on the gorilla suit and entered the cage before the crowd came. He felt that it was a
great job. He could sleep all he wanted, played and made fun of people and he drove bigger
crowds than he ever did as a clown. He pretended the gorilla successfully.
However, eventually the crowds were tired of him for just swinging on tires. He began to
notice that the people were paying more attention to the lion in the next cage. Not wanting to
lose the attention of his audience, he decided to make a spectacular performance. He climbed to
the top of his cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled from the top to the lion's cage. Of
course, this made the lion furious, but the crowd people loved it .At the end of the day the zoo
keeper came and gave him a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this went on for some
time, he kept taunting the lion, the audience crowd grew a larger, and his salary kept going up.
Then one terrible day happened. When he was dangling over the furious lion, he slipped and fell
into the lion cage. The clown was really in big terrible situation. He was terrified.
Sooner the lion gathered itself and prepared to pounce. The clown was so scared. He
could do nothing and he began to run round and round the cage with the lion close and closer
behind. Finally, the lion could catch him. The clown started screaming and yelling, "Help me,
help me!", but the lion was quick and pounces. The clown soon found himself flat on his back
looking up at the angry lion and suddenly he heard a voice from the lions mouth;"Shut up you
idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?"
