“Are you okay?” Nancy asked.

“I slipped on a mushy banana peel,” said George, standing up. “Lucky for me, the ground was mushy too!”

“Since when do zebras eat bananas?” Bess asked.

“Maybe they get care packages,” George joked. “This is camp, you know!”

The girls stepped out of the zebra pen. They were about to look for Ethan when Joanne called their names. It was time for the tour of the animal hospital.

“We’ll find Ethan later,” Nancy told her friends.

“He can’t go too far,” Bess pointed out. “He lives here.”

The girls joined the others at the animal hospital. Once inside, a vet named Dr. Patel introduced the campers to Ambrose, a chimp from the compound. He sat on a table in the emergency room.

“What’s wrong with him?” asked Marnie.

“Ambrose ate cotton candy,” Dr. Patel explained. “It gave him a stomachache, but he seems to be feeling better now.”

Ambrose grinned with blue-stained teeth.

Petula was in the office too. She spoke quietly to Joanne, but Nancy could hear her loud and clear.

“My chimps haven’t left the compound in weeks,” Petula said. “They have everything they need there.”

“Then how did Ambrose get cotton candy?” asked Joanne.

“One of your campers was eating cotton candy during the tour,” Petula said. “He probably gave Ambrose some.”

“He didn’t, Ms. Woodruff!” Nancy spoke up.

All eyes turned to Nancy.

“Vinnie was eating yellow cotton candy,” Nancy explained. She pointed to Ambrose’s teeth. “The cotton candy Ambrose ate was definitely blue.”

“Hoo, hooo!” Ambrose hooted.

“Well …,” Petula said, “I suppose you’re right.”

Ambrose screeched as he hopped off the table. Everyone watched as he scampered to the door and twisted the handle.

“What is he doing?” asked Dr. Patel. “He can’t leave until he gets his medicine.”
