I had fingers.

I could point.

Grunt. Grunt.

My naughty man laughed.

“Yes, I got distracted. Time for your firstreward.”

First.

Second.

Ha ha.

Lots of rewards.

My naughty man laughed bigger bigger whenhe got up. “You sound like an evil villain laughing like that.”

Funny. Funny.

“But I didn’t forget your reward. I justgot distracted planning our zoo.” My naughty man glared when I laughed again.“I’m not sure I like the sound of that snicker.”

My naughty man was silly.

“Planning out the details is important sowe find the perfect toys for you.” My naughty man worried about toys too. “Andit helps me figure out the perfect rewards.”

Bigger bigger ones.

Oh.

My naughty man got me poop chocolate.

And he groaned.

“I don’t understand how you’re so excited.It’s chocolate in the shape of animal poop.” My naughty man frowned and sighedbut he opened my treat. Quiet toy out. Poop in. “I think that was elephantpoop. That’s just…ugh.”

Yummy.

That was just yummy.

“For goodness’ sake. It can’t be that good.It’s elephant poop.” My naughty man made big sounds. “I have no idea what thisone is. That’s a questionable shape right there.”

But it was yummy.

Oh.

“Careful. Don’t slip.”

Oops.
