A tall, thin, black shape scurried as quick as a flash past the night zoo-keeper and disappeared behind a tall bush. Tom, the zoo-keeper, went to investigate. He walked slowly over to the bush. "Hello......is anybody there?" he stammered. There was no reply. He walked closer to the bush. There was a faint rustling noise. "Hello, is anybody there?" he asked again. "I was in the army you know....trained to kill and all that!" he shouted as he shook like a jelly.

Tom moved closer still to the bush. Two large, red eyes looked back at him. He took his torch from his pocket and shone it at the bush. "AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!" he screamed as he ran away.
