100 WC week #14

Monkey

   We hired a baboon! Okay, we hired him because well, we wanted to try something advanced. Plus he was head of his class. On his first day, he was tremendous at his job. But about a week later he changed. We gave him a laptop, sense that's his job, but I guess he thought it was his lunch break. Because when we gave him the laptop, he made a powerful monkey squeal and chucked the laptop off the desk and it smashed into a million pieces. After that, we got him a banana and he was fine. I don't know why he flipped. I guess some people can't work when they're starved.

The Hungry Tiger

   Being a zookeeper is a blast. Most of the time. Tigers are my favourite, but they can be a pretty grouchy at times. Earlier today, I was going to feed, Lily, with my new co-worker.

   “Have you ever fed a tiger before?” I asked.

   “No,” he confessed nervously, “I hope she’ll like me.”

   “She will, trust me.”

   When we fed, Lily, she was as happy as a tiger could be. But as Joe and I were trying to leave, the tiger was blocking our escape.

   “What will we do?” Joe cried.

   “We need to act big and loud.” I ensured him. We threw our hands up and growled.
