The Zoo
|
One day an out of work mime is visiting the
zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street
performer. Unfortunately, as soon as he starts
to draw a crowd, a zookeeper grabs him and drags
him into his office.
The zookeeper explains to the mime that the
zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla has
died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance
at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime
a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can
get another one. The mime accepts.
So the next morning the mime puts on the gorilla
suit and enters the cage before crowd comes.
He discovers that it's a great job. He can sleep
all he wants, play and make fun of people and
he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a
mime. However, eventually the crowds tire of
him and he tires of just swinging on tires. He
begins to notice that the people are paying more
attention to the lion in the cage next to his.
Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience,
he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across
a partition, and dangles from the top to the
lion's cage. Of course, this makes the lion furious,
but the crowd loves it.
At the end of the day the zookeeper comes and
gives the mime a raise for being such a good
attraction.
Well, this goes on for some time, the mime
keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger,
and his salary keeps going up. Then one terrible
day when he is dangling over the furious lion
he slips and falls. The mime is terrified. The
lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce. The
mime is so scared that he begins to run round
and round the cage with the lion close behind.
Finally, the mime starts screaming and yelling,
"Help, Help me!” but the lion is quick and pounces.
The mime soon finds himself flat on his back
looking up at the angry lion and the lion says,
"Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both
fired?"
