I'm going to the zoo. Oh, I am going to have some fun, I get to see the kangaroos and the baboons too. The happy sun is shining and I'm standing in front of the cage of one, very slow moving, Sloth suspended from a tree limb.
While no one was looking, I put my arm through the bars of the cage,
and manage to reach in and pat it.
The look on its flat head face and bandit heavy-sleepy lidded eyes, in outrage, it murmured with a gentle greeting, a soothing grunt.
" Go away human I want to sleep."
I scream and pull back my hand. You! You! Set off on a run.
