One weekend, Ali and his family went to the zoo. They bought him an ice-cream
and he ran ahead of his parents to greet his animal friends. Suddenly, he
stopped in his tracks. There was a new addition to the zoo. The sign said that
it was an orangutan. Ali laughed in delight and started jumping up and down.
To his surprise, the orangutan imitated his actions. When Ali scratched his
head, the orangutan did just that too. Ali was so happy that he decided to share
the ice-cream with the orangutan.
Ali stretched out his hand, offering the ice-cream to the orangutan. It
immediately grabbed his hand and would not let go. Ali would not let o either
for he wanted his ice-cream back. Ali's parents who were coming his ay, shouted
to Ali to let go of his ice-cream. The zoo warden who heard the
commotion came to see what was happening. He
quickly took a stick and rattled it against
the orangutan's cage to distract it. Another warden threw some food into its
cage.
Fortunately, the orangutan decided to let Ali go. Ali was crying for his hand
was bleeding. His parents comforted him as well as they could. The zoo wardens
applied some medicine on Ali's hand and bandaged it. They told Ali not to feed
the animals in the zoo ever again. |
