Once there was a happy zoo owner named Mr. Wiggly, and his zoo was the best in the world. One day, a silly zoo owner named Mr. Bumble bought a very special animal from him: a giant Pink Gorilla! “This gorilla is amazing,” said Mr. Bumble. “But why are you selling it?” “Well,” said Mr. Wiggly with a twinkle in his eye, “because I have ONE important rule: Never, EVER touch the Pink Gorilla on his right shoulder.” Mr. Bumble promised not to touch it. But as soon as the Pink Gorilla arrived at his zoo, Mr. Bumble couldn’t stop wondering. “Why not?” he thought. “Will it tickle? Will it make him dance? Will something crazy happen?” Finally, he couldn’t wait any longer. One quiet day, Mr. Bumble tiptoed into the gorilla’s enclosure. The Pink Gorilla stared at him with big, curious eyes. Slowly, Mr. Bumble reached out his hand and… tapped the Pink Gorilla on his right shoulder. Suddenly, the gorilla stood up, roared, and started chasing him! “AHHHH!” Mr. Bumble screamed. He ran through the monkey house, over the giraffe field, and around the elephant pool. The Pink Gorilla stayed right behind him the whole time! Mr. Bumble jumped on a scooter, but the Pink Gorilla grabbed a skateboard and zoomed after him. He swam across a pond, but the Pink Gorilla grabbed a floaty and paddled right behind. Finally, Mr. Bumble stopped, out of breath. The Pink Gorilla leaned in close and said… “TAG! YOU’RE IT!” Then the Pink Gorilla laughed and sprinted back to his pen. From that day on, Mr. Bumble followed the rule: Never touch a Pink Gorilla’s right shoulder. You just might get a surprise!

"Remember, dear Lila, the world is full of wonders if you have the eyes to see and the heart to explore," Mr. Whiskers replied kindly. Lila waved goodbye to the wise squirrel, knowing she had made a friend for life. She promised to return and learn more. As she walked home under the starry sky, she felt a sense of peace and joy. The world was indeed full of magic, and she was ready to discover it all.
