The Zookeeper

All the animals in the zoo love Mr. Douglas, who is the zookeeper. He has never been unkind to any of the animals. He is unafraid of the animals and likes to play with them. One day, Mr. Douglas was unhappy when some of the animals got sick. He uncovered one of the animal’s bandages that had a sore. He looked up, with uncertainty crossing his face. He could not understand what made the animals sick. He untwisted the tube of medicine that had an unpleasant smell and put it on the animals’ sores. Unless the medicine helped the animals, he did not know what to do for them. The next day, the animals were all better. They were unaffected and that delighted Mr. Douglas.
