Friday, 11th
Meet Ranger Ed, Monkey's unofficial host. "Howdy, everyone. It's my job to protect the park while Monkey's here. "If anyone catches him doing something he shouldn't be doing, or going someplace he shouldn't be going, or touching something he shouldn't be touching, or climbing on something he shouldn't be climbing on, or ... umm.... "Let me put this more simply. It's our job to watch that ape 24/7! We must never let him out of our sight. Speaking of which, where is he?" |
Did someone say "treats"?! |
Saturday, 12th Hagoh is Opice's official host. Here the two sit on Hagoh's sleeping-fish futon while reminiscing about old times. But Monkey keeps saying he doesn't remember things the way his host does. "That wasn't me." "I don't think so." "You must be thinking of someone else." "No I didn't." "Wrong." "Yeah but, I can explain that..." After a short while the two stop talking to one another. |
