Once upon a time, there was one unhappy zookeeper. None of the animals liked her because she always told them what to do. But, the one who disliked her the most was the Little Meerkat.

The zookeeper was so upset with how the animals treated her. She was so sad.

One day, the zookeeper decided that she was going to go on vacation. She did this because she needed a break from the animals.

The Little Meerkat told the animals how the zookeeper had left.

The animals were so excited! They could do whatever they wanted!

YAY!!!

WHOO HOO!!

The next day, the animals decided to throw a party! This was fun, but the zoo was a mess.

Many animals got hurt, and it was too loud.

There were streamers, balloons, and trash everywhere!

And not one animal was cleaning up their mess!

It was chaos! Someone had to take control of the situation!

The Little Meerkat decided that he would have to take control.
