Zooing it up

The following is a true story, which made local news in a little Welsh town a few months ago. I am fortunate enough to know one of those involved, so I will share the hilarity...

Once upon a time in urbania, a couple decided to take their little boy out for the day. A Downs Syndrome child, he carried with him a large rucksack in which he kept medicine, and instructions on what to do if anyone were to find him lost anywhere. Whilst at the zoo, his parents lose him, and spend a good few hours looking for him, but to no avail. When the zoo is closing, one of the zoo-keepers finds him and takes him to his parents who are anxiously waiting at the gates. Relieved that he has been returned to them safely, they take him home. Immediately, he locks himself in his room and won't let them in... it takes them a while to convince him to allow them to enter...

Whilst he was lost at the zoo, he has gone and got a PENGUIN, and slipped it into his rucksack. His parents find a rather bemused and frightened little creature on entering his room. They call the zoo to explain the problem, but the zoo cannot come and pick up the penguin for several days, so for the next few days they have a penguin in their bath!! How awesome is that?!
