A new zookeeper has just started work at the zoo. The regular, more experienced zookeeper is off for the day, and left the new younger guy in charge.
The new recruit's first task is to feed the tropical fish and clean the tanks. However, while he's climbing up the step ladder to drop the food into the tank, the ladder slips and he falls into the tank, causing the glass to shatter under the pressure and spilling all the fish over the floor.. "Oh shit!" he says and wonders how to cover it up. So he picks up all the fish, and takes them outside and chucks them all in the lion's den.
Next job is to feed the monkeys and make sure they're getting enough exercise. However, his bad luck continues and as he enters the monkey pen, his nerves fail him and he trips up, crashing into a tyre swing. One of the monkeys falls from the tree and breaks his neck.... Panicking, the zookeeper picks up the dead monkey and throws him into the lion's den.
Next its over to the bee hives, to collect the pollen from the honeycombs. But he gets nervous again with all the bees buzzing round and knocks one of the hives over, killing all the honeybees inside it... In another panic, he scoops up the dead bees still stuck to the honeycomb and chucks them into the lions den.
The next day, the regular zookeeper returns to work and goes to feed the lions. "I'm looking forward to today's food, what are we having?" the king lion says to the zookeeper. "Just standard regular meat chunks" replies the zookeeper.
"Aww thats a shame..." says the lion, "it was great yesterday..... we had fish, chimps and mushy bees....."
