My Report - a story
By Nick
One day I went to the zoo with my family to take notes on spider monkeys for a school project. The guy showing me around told me they lived in the rainforest. I took a lot of notes.
Notes
1. Uses tail…
2. as an Extra leg
3. Lives in rain forest
I just got done writing when suddenly I couldn’t believe my eyes. The spider monkey had a mango and jumped really far and dunked it on two rounded branches. I mean he jumped 54 feet! I bet his feat would never get accomplished by a human! The sad part is that no one thought it was cool but me.
Then another spider monkey jumped out of its cage and hugged me. I was so surprised. I mean the keys were hanging up by the lock and he took them and got out of the cage. Then he locked it right up. He was even wearing a Baltimore Orioles hat. The zoo keeper said he came from Baltimore. So that makes sense.
We were going home and I didn’t notice that the spider monkey that hugged me was following me. Once I saw him I thought to myself that I must be it because he likes me. So I snuck him in the back of my Dad’s car without Dad noticing.
During the car ride I put him in my backpack. It
took a couple of hours to get to Burger King I ordered double for the spider monkey and me. I thought he would eat it because he didn’t come from the rain forest. I wasn’t wrong. All together our food was 50 dollars.
It was 4:45 pm when we got home. I took some more notes.
Notes
4. Eats mangos
5. Eats Burger King
6. Sensitive
My report is due in two days! I have all the information I need so tonight I will build a robot and the robot will return the spider monkey to the zoo. I went to my dad’s tool case and brought it to my room. It took three hours to build the robot. I needed screws and bolts and all of that kind of stuff. And I was surprised I built it so fast. It was 7:30pm by the time I finished. I waited till 11:00 to start Operation Spider Monkey. I took my robot down stairs and put the spider monkey in the cage (that I built) in the robots arms. I used my controller (that controlled the robot) to make the robot go to the zoo.
I knew where it was going because I had a GPS hooked up to it. It was midnight and I had one mile to go then I could drop it off. At 12:15 I was at the zoo. So I dropped him off at his cage and said goodbye on my microphone.
It was very sad and I cried and cried and cried until my whole bed was soaked! I went my notes and wrote…
Notes
7. My best friend
I wrote my best friend on my notes because the spider monkey loved me and I loved him. It was the saddest night of my life.
The next morning I had breakfast and I walked to school, with my notes. I hoped the teacher would accept them.
I gave them to her. After recess my notes were on my desk. I covered my eyes because I didn’t want to see a bad report. Finally I opened my eyes and there was an A plus right in front of me!
After school I begged my mom to for a half an hour to go to the zoo. She said “yes”. We arrived at the zoo and I ran right to the spider monkey.
“THANK YOU,” I said. And I gave the spider monkey a big hug through the bars.
I asked the manager, who was my uncle, if I could keep the spider monkey that came from Baltimore. He said “yes,” and I said, “thank you thank you thank you”. Me, my spider monkey and my parents went home and we were all happy with our lives.
