The zoo had spent too much money renovating the grounds and improving the habitat that they couldn't afford the gorilla. So, until they could get more funding, they had decided to use an actor in a gorilla suit. Needing the money, Daniel took the job.

One day, when Daniel was swinging on a vine to show off to some children, his hand slipped and he goes flying over the wall into the lion's den. He panicked. There was a huge lion not twenty feet away, and it looked very hungry.
So, the man in the gorilla suit started jumping up and down, screaming and yelling, "Help, help! Get me out of here! I'm not really a gorilla! I'm a man in a gorilla suit! Help me, please help me!!!
The lion quickly pounced on the man, held him down and said, "Will you shut up! You're going to get both of us fired. ...
