“She’s not a monkey, Vicky! Ella is an ape. A hungry little ape,” Lin said, and she stepped forward and handed the banana to Ella.

At first, I thought everything was going to be fine. Ella sat up in Annie’s arms as she inspected the banana. She sniffed it. She licked it. Then she turned to Lin, stuck out her hand, and smashed half of the banana all over Lin’s favorite shirt.

Once again, the class exploded with laughter. Only this time, there were some groans and moans mixed in. Vicky was laughing so hard I thought she was going to fall over, but Lin wasn’t giving up that easy. She scraped the banana off her shirt and held it in her hands.

“It’s okay, Ella. I understand,” Lin said. She held out a mountain of whitish, yellowish mush to Ella. The little ape looked at Lin and smiled so wide you could count all her teeth. “Go ahead. It’s all mashed up and ready.”

The bright orange ape reached out and took the handful of mashed bananas and stuffed them in her mouth. The class went silent for a few seconds, then they cheered.

“Very, VERY good, Lin. That was incredible. You have the makings of a true zookeeper,” Annie said. “How did you know to keep trying to feed Ella?”

“Well, I like to play with my food, too,” Lin said.

“Brilliant,” Sam said.

I peered over at Vicky, and she wasn’t laughing anymore. Her eyebrows tilted down toward the center of her face, and her right nostril flared as her mouth turned down in a frown.

“That really was brilliant, Lin. I’m super impressed,” I said.

“Thanks, Danny,” Lin said.

“Who’s Danny?” Sam asked.

“Oh, no, I said Annie. Thanks, ANNIE,” Lin covered quickly.

“All right, class. Who wants to go feed the otters?” Annie asked.

“Will they smash oysters on our shirts?” someone in the back of the class asked, and everyone laughed again.

“Only if you’re lucky,” Annie said. Two new helpers came in the room and took Ella and Buttons.

“Say good-bye to Ella and Buttons,” Sam said.

The class waved good-bye to the apes, then they followed Annie out of the classroom. Vicky and Lin were the last two out, and Sam came up to them holding a bright yellow shirt.

“Sorry about the banana mash. I hope this will make up for it.” Sam handed the shirt to Lin.
