CIRCUS FOR GORILLAS

By E1 class, 18th Primary school of Kalamata, Greece

Once upon a time there was an architect who lived in Japan. He had a tall sister who liked
going windsurfing and a slim wife who taught maths.
One evening the three of them decided to go to the cinema to watch a film about gorillas in
a circus. In the film, there were big gorillas and smaller ones, happy gorillas and others that
looked sad, but every gorilla was trained to do something different: one of them could write
its name on a blackboard, another one could swim in the water, a third one could ride a
bike. A big gorilla knew when to feed the hungry ones and it was trained to give the banana
skins to the children in the audience. But a very old and dirty gorilla wasn’ t trained at all and
it was sad and angry. Its dream had always been to fly but the people at the circus were
trying to teach it how to ice skate.
One day, while training, he got so angry that he ice skated very fast, tore the cinema screen
and came out of it flying over the architect’ s and his wife’ s heads. The people watching the
movie got so scared that they started running out of the cinema but the gorilla’ s dream to
fly had finally come true!!
