He  43  a T-shirt and was sitting on the chair, trying to put on a pair of glasses and making faces at her. In front of him, on the table, were a basket of fruits and a glass of water. “Sandy, where are you?” the mother shouted. Then suddenly she remembered that a few days before a young gorilla (大猩猩) called Jim had run away from the zoo.
“I found him in the city square,” Sandy said. “He seemed so  44 . I talked to him. We became friends at once and he followed me home.”

These days Sandy has stopped collecting  50 , but you can still find her with her friend Jim at the zoo on Saturdays and Sundays.
