Polly

It was finally feeding time at the zoo. Molly and I, the baby monkeys were starving, we had a new zoo keeper, so that meant new food, usually it was popcorn for Molly, and I would have some fruit and carrot, I love carrot!!!! But the zoo keeper pulled out a bag, with strange looking pictures on it, on the front written in big, black letters was Mon key Treats, but he couldn’t open them so he to get some scissors. While he was gone Molly and I thought that we should go and rescue our old zoo keeper. ‘We have to go out and look for him’ Molly exclaimed. ‘Ok we’ll make a plan to escape’ I replied ‘when he’s not looking we’ll run out of the cage door’ When the zoo keeper finally turned around we quickly and quietly left the cage. ‘ I hope he didn’t see us’ Molly said to me. ‘Yeah I sure hope he didn’t’ I replied When we got around the corner we sore all of these people taking photos of us. There was a gorgeous little girl in a hot pink dress with a beautiful flower print on it. She ran over to us so fast that we got quite frightened.

We ran into a room that had its door wide open. I went over to a bag and saw that there were some pyjama’s in it, some hats, and two pairs of shoes. Molly quickly put on the pink and green pyjamas and a yellow hat, and the green shoes, I put on the other pair of pyjama’s they were blue and purple, a green hat and some orange shoes. We then left the little room, looking like complete fools, (we later found out it was called a store room.) We kept walking and went into a cage, we were not quite sure what to expect, or who we would find, the cage was quite big we thought that we saw our normal zoo keeper (George) but when we got in we realised it was not him, it was a very long nose. So feeling very upset and disappointed we turned around to leave and found that the gate was closed and that meant we couldn’t escape. Molly then realised that standing in front of us was a huge, grey, long-nosed, thing. There was another one that was asleep, well it used to be, we must have woken it up, (oops.) It chased us and nearly squashed Molly, (what a shame I could have had the cage all to myself.) We managed to escape the weird creatures by jumping the fence ‘look’ I said as I pointed at a large, hairy, scary looking creature. We stared at it and it stared back, it had an evil look in its eyes. Then it charged and started to chase us around the enclosure, we finally managed to get up a tree. After what seemed like a long time the hairy beast had fallen asleep. We were scared to go back down the tree, but we knew we had to if we wanted to get out. We climbed down very slowly and reached the ground with a light thud, we quietly tiptoed to the door, but the something terrible happened, molly stepped on a stick, and with a loud crack, the hairy, cat-like creature woke up. We were so scared that we froze with fear, and we fell to the ground, the cat-like creature slowly backed away and it had a look of sorrow in its eyes, and the zookeeper rushed in and scooped us up in his arms, ‘I was so worried about you two, when you ran off, don’t ever do it again’ and we didn’t.
