Title: New at the zoo
Description: One afternoon the postman brought a package to the zoo. Inside the box was a furry baby animal with bright eyes. He was nibbling on a big envelope. "He's much too little to stay outside," said Mr. Benjamin. "He should stay in my office with me." While Joshua played, Mr. Benjamin opened the letter. Instructions for feeding and care of Joshua: 1. At breakfast, lunch, and dinner, feed one bottle of milk and three bags of peanuts. 2. Put in his basket one pillow, one blanket, and one small bone. 3. At bedtime, to get Joshua to go to sleep ... That was all he could read because the rest had been completely nibbled away. p. 3-5.
