As soon as he < < starts to draw a < < crowd, < < a zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his < < office. The zoo keeper < < < < explains to the mime that the zoo's most popular < < attraction, a < < gorilla, < < has died suddenly and the keeper fears that < < attendance at the zoo < < will < < fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as < < the gorilla until < < they < < can get another one. The mime accepts. < < < < So the next morning the mime puts on the gorilla < < suit and enters the < < < < cage before the crowd comes. He < < discovers that it's a great job. He can sleep all he < < wants, play and < < < < make fun of people, and he draws bigger crowds than < < he ever did as a < < < < mime. < < < < However, eventually the crowds tire of him and he < < tires of just < < swinging < < on tires. He begins to notice that the people are < < paying more < < attention < < to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to < < lose the < < attention < < of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, < < crawls across a < < partition, and dangles from the top to the lion's < < cage. Of course, < < this < < makes the lion furious, but the crowd loves it. At < < the end of the < < day < < the zoo keeper comes and gives the mime a raise for < < being such a < < good < < attraction. Well, this goes on for some time, the < < mime keeps < < taunting < < the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary < < keeps going up. < < < < Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the < < furious lion he < < slips < < and falls. The mime is terrified. The lion gathers < < itself and < < prepares < < to pounce. The mime is so scared that he begins to < < run round and < < round < < the cage with the lion close behind. Finally, the < < mime starts < < screaming < < and yelling, "Help, Help me!", but the lion is quick < < and pounces. < < The < < mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up < < at the angry < < lion < < and the lion says, "Shut up you idiot! Do you want < < to get us both < < fired?" < < < < < < < __________________________________________________ < Do You Yahoo!? < Make a great connection at Yahoo!
