The Zoo Job Story
One day a clown was visiting the zoo and attempted to earn some
money by making a street performance. He acted and mimed perfectly
some animal acts. As soon as he started to drive a crowd, a zoo keeper
grabbed him and dragged him into his office. The zoo keeper explained
to the clown that the zoo's most popular gorilla had died suddenly and
the keeper was fear that attendance at the zoo would fall off. So he
offered the clown a job to dress up as the gorilla until the zoo could get
another one. The clown accepted this great opportunity.
So the next morning the clown put on the gorilla suit and entered the
cage before the crowd came. He felt that it was a great job. He could
sleep all he wanted, played and made fun of people and he drove
bigger crowds than he ever did as a clown. He pretended the gorilla
successfully.
However, eventually the crowds were tired of him for just swinging on
tires. He began to notice that the people were paying more attention
to the lion in the next cage. Not wanting to lose the attention of his
audience, he decided to make a spectacular performance. He climbed
to the top of his cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled from the
top to the lion's cage. Of course, this made the lion furious, but the
crowd people loved it.
At the end of the day the zoo keeper came and gave him a raise for
being such a good attraction. Well, this went on for some time, he kept
taunting the lion, the audience crowd grew a larger, and his salary kept
going up. Then one terrible day happened. When he was dangling over
the furious lion, he slipped and fell into the lion cage. The clown was
really in big terrible situation. He was terrified.
Sooner the lion gathered itself and prepared to pounce. The clown was
so scared. He could do nothing and he began to run round and round
the cage with the lion close and closer behind. Finally, the lion could
catch him. The clown started screaming and yelling, "Help me, help
me!", but the lion was quick and pounces. The clown soon found
himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and suddenly he
heard a voice from the lion’s mouth;"Shut up you idiot! Do you want to
get us both fired?".

very big deep hole. "Wow...that looks deep." One replied,"Sure does...
toss a few pebbles in there and we will see how deep this hole is."
Then they pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait... no noise
"Geeez. That is really deep... here.. throw one of these great big rocks
down there. Those should make a noise." After that, they pick up a
couple football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait... and
wait. but no noise they heard.
Wow.. They were really impressed with how deep hole it was. They
look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his
face and says, "Hey...over here in the weeds, there's a railroad tie.
Help me carry it over here. When we toss that sucker in this hole, it's
must make some noise."
The two men drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. But,
not a sound comes from the hole. Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a
goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men,
then right past them, running as fast as its legs will carry it. Suddenly it
leaps in the air and into the hole. The goat disappeared into the deep
hole.
The two men are astonished with what they've just seen. How could a
goat jump into the hole? Then, not long after that, out of the woods
comes a farmer. He seemed to seek something and asked to the two
men, "Hey two guys... have you seen my goat out here?"
Feeling amazing with what they saw of a goat jumping to the hole,
they answer straightly,"You bet we did! Craziest thing I've ever seen! A
goat came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!"
The farmer thought a moment and said, "That could not have been my
goat. Because my goat was chained to a railroad tie." Then he left the
two men.
