One day me and my family went to Africa and touched a gorilla. It was cool cause I saw a big fright and this baby was going to have a fight with its mum so it could move out. So the zookeeper came and pushed it over so it can't  get up. Then I ran inside and slapped him so I ran to king kong and he pushed the zookeeper.
