One day an out of work mime is visiting the
zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts
to draw a crowd, a zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zoo
keeper explains to the mime that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla,
has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall
off.
He offers the mime a job to dress up as the
gorilla until they can get another one. The mime accepts.
So the next morning the mime puts on the
gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He discovers that it's
a great job. He can sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people and he
draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime. However, eventually the crowds
tire of him and he tires of just swinging on tires. He begins to notice that
the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not
wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his
cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top to the lion's cage.
Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd loves it.
At the end of the day the zoo keeper comes and
gives the mime a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this goes on for
some time, the mime keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his
salary keeps going up. Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the
furious lion he slips and falls. The mime is terrified.
The lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce.
The mime is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the
lion close behind. Finally, the mime starts screaming and yelling, "Help
me, help me!", but the lion is quick and pounces. The mime soon finds
himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says,
"Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?"
