T2W8+9+10
When I entered the zoo, it was total bedlam! Apparently the animals had been disgruntled with the lack of care provided to them and had decided to revolt! Just then a cacophony of chattering and trumpeting reached my ears, the elephants and the monkeys were charging towards the zoo entrance! Just then, the revered ex-president of the zoo appeared at the entrance, the animals, recognising her, stopped charging. The ex-president vowed to return to restore the zoo back to its old heights and that the animals would never be mistreated ever again. This calmed the animals down and they all went back to their cages. It was truly a feather in the cap for the ex-president.
The next day, I read in the news that the dilettante owner of the zoo had apathetically refused to let the ex-president to take charge of the zoo again. She claimed that the ex-president wanted to steal all the animals away from her, and exhorted the board of directors not to believe the ex-president as it was probably just an on the spur of the moment decision. According to the news reports though, the dilettante owner looked slightly inebriated. I waited patiently for the rest of the drama to unfold.
That very night, the ex-president appeared on television to announce that she was once again in charge of the zoo. She jubilantly said that she had assumed all was in the laps of the gods as she could not do a thing if the owner did not want to sell the zoo back to her. However, the animals' revolt had not gone unnoticed, in fact, it galvanized the government into action! Then a government spokesman said that the government officials were mortified by the animals' revolt and believed that the zoo, a source of national pride should be handled by someone who at least had a sense of decorum.
I was glad to know that the zoo was back in capable hands, in fact, I shall return soon for another visit!
