AT THE ZOO

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. Ali was surprised when 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 it would not let go Ali’s hand. Ali would not let go either for he wanted his
ice-cream back. Ali's parents who were coming his way, 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.
