11. Amy was a student volunteer at the zoo. She helped feed the monkeys after school every day, and she hoped to be a veterinarian when she grew up. Amy filled a dish with bananas and lettuce and nuts and put it inside the door of the cage each afternoon. All she had to do was prepare the food, open the door, slide the food into the cage, and lock the door. Then she would watch the monkeys eat. They were so cute! One day Amy forgot to lock the cage after sliding the food inside. When she came back the next afternoon there were monkeys everywhere at the zoo! Monkeys were high in the tress, throwing peanuts at visitors. Monkeys were in the gift shop trying on sunglasses. Monkeys were stealing pretzels from the pretzel vendors. Monkeys were splashing in the water fountains and they were jumping on cars in the parking lot. One big monkey was building a nest out of cotton candy. His fur was covered in pink stringy strands of sugary goo. It took two days for the zookeepers to get all the monkeys back in their cage.
