I’m Daddy’s little gorilla. He told me so. That means I’m special. That means of all the little gorillas in the jungle, I’m the only one that’s his. Isn’t that incredible?
Boopy can climb to the top of the Booboo tree before you can say “alligator pants!” It’s pretty cool. Actually, it’s amazing. She’s a very talented monkey. But she’s not Daddy’s little gorilla.
Kabunjee can eat twenty bananas without even breathing. It’s impressive. It might even be a world record. She’s a pretty famous monkey. But she’s not Daddy’s little gorilla.
Jo-Jo found a pink ribbon in the jungle. She’s so proud of it, she wears it every day and makes us call her “lovely ribbon-model.” She’s a very pretty monkey. She might even be beautiful (even if she’s a bit of a brat). But she’s not Daddy’s little gorilla.
I’m not too good at climbing trees. I can get almost half-way up the Booboo tree, then I get tired and scared, and Boopy comes and rescues me.
I can’t eat too many bananas. Usually I can just eat one-and-a-half and then Kabunjee eats the other half. It’s bad to waste bananas.
I don’t have a pink ribbon or anything. Once, Jo-Jo let me wear hers for a couple minutes, but when she heard her friends coming, I had to give it back. She’s such a show-off.
I may not be a strong tree-climber, but I’m Daddy’s little gorilla. I may not be a famous banana-eater, but I’m Daddy’s little gorilla. I may not be a lovely ribbon-model (though I am pretty cute), but I’m Daddy’s little gorilla.
And you know what? That’s all that really matters.
Well that, and ice cream.
the end.
