A baby gorilla lost its way in the jungle. Then, someone saw it and took it to the zoo. The zoo keeper saw it and put it with the other gorillas. The next day, the baby gorilla woke up and looked around. It didn't know itself where it came from. The biggest gorilla said, “You were carried here by a man.” The baby gorilla didn't know who the man was. So, it just stayed at the zoo and lived with the other gorillas. Year after year, the baby gorilla grew up to become a strong, young gorilla. One day a man saw it and thought, "This was the baby gorilla from all those years back." He then bought it and set it free in the jungle. The gorilla seemed to know that he was that man. So, it ran into the jungle as the man stood by and watched.
