part two of children's story "Brain damaged adventures in Chobe National Park".

[charlieab]

Last time on Brain Damaged Adventures ... Bernard, an elephant with terrible tinnitus and a shocking memory, met Sylvia, a monkey with balance problems and a little bit of brain disinhibition.

Two days earlier, Sylvia had turned back from sticking a stick in a termite mound to find that her whole troupe had disappeared. Save that is for three dead older monkeys lined up in a neat row. Bernard has promised to discover what had happend to the three dead monkeys and to help Sylvia find her family.

Bernard: Hop on board and we can go and investigate the scene of the crime.

Sylvia clambered up Bernard as best she could, sat on the top, shut her eyes, and fell down the other side.

Bernard: Maybe you have some balance problems after your wilderbeast traffic accident?

Sylvia: I'm FINE, thank you!

She climbs back up, tightly grips a fold of Bernard's pachydermus skin, smiles at her achievement, and falls off again.

Sylvia: Ouch.

Bernard gently lifts her on to his head with his trunk and keeps his trunk securely around her as they head towards the scene of the crime.

Bernard: So there are three dead monkeys neatly lined up. What does that tell us?

Sylvia: That they were standing in a neat line when they were killed?

Bernard: ummm. Even if they had been in a neat line, wouldnt they have fallen in a jumbled heap?

Sylvia: OK, I get it. Whoever killed them must have been able to put them in a neat line. So it cant have been a lion. Maybe it was ..

Just then two stick insects (with tremmors) land on Bernard's head.

Sylvia: Stick insects!

Bernard (trying not to sound patronising): I dont think stick insects would have been strong enough.

Sylvia: No, I mean there are sticks insects on your head. And they are shaking like leaves.

First stick insect: We're the two stick stick insects.

Second stick insect: Yes, and we know why it was older monkeys who were killed.

... to be continued ...
