Rose and I went to the Lowry Park Zoo last weekend and I was shocked when I learned that the zoo had put all the orangutans out with nothing but the fur on their backs and an old shirt and some paper bags to protect them from the sun.
One was too embarrassed to show his face.
Another decided to just wait until the sun went down or until zoo officials changed their mind and let them back inside.
One thought he could go over the top like Bruce Wayne.
Yet another decided to use this time to relax.
With only a few pieces of lettuce to eat, food was getting scarce.
Soon depression started to set in. This fellow contemplated jumping.
And this one plotted a way back inside.
I sat down and talked to one of the orangutans.
He told me, and I quote, “he he he he he he heeeeee.” I couldn’t help but cry.
Author’s note:
For the one percent of the people that do not know that this is a joke: This is a joke. Please do not call Lowry Park Zoo to complain. Never-mind, call them if you want. It might be funny.
