Ticket for the Zoo come and get placed on your desk at work, little did anyone care to think of your loss just now a year ago. The one person you loved for twenty plus years is now gone and her memory is ever present on your mind.
Four tickets, who can you give them to, even if the thought of going to see this wonder you've been told over and over is worth the trip. As one sets there you think to yourself of if you went who might go with you.
Then it strikes, your near neighbors Tim and Andria Wells along with their son Hank might be the three to your one.
A phone call and Andria jumps at the free tickets since their budget is tight and these things cost $30.00 each otherwise. Its agreed that this Saturday they and you will visit the big New Zoo.
Everybody fits your old 1981 Lincoln as Tim eyes the appointments and how well everything is kept. You drive as in the back seat Andria does her ever lov'in best to keep Hank from bouncing off the walls, he's so hiped about the Zoo.
At last the gateway to an animal kingdom stands before you. It suggests of a place of grandure like so few zoos you have ever seen. Quickly one has to notice the cleaness about the sidewalks and not a spot of trash lingering about on the green lawns.
The three grownups stand before a granite wall listing those who made substancial contrabutions to the building of this great wonder. You and Tim both point at the same time seeing two names which stand out above the rest, Mr. Andrew Trois and then Doctor Ultima Thule. You and Tim both have heard of these two men since your next door neighbor went to work for Thule about two years back.
Tim and you explain to Andria how Justin Franks lost his job and then noted the offering of lifetime positions being offered to those willing a move to Montana. Justin and his wife both were accepted and sold their home, moved up to Montana and never once dropped you a note about how they were doing.
So the four of you travel onward joining the throng of people entering for a day among the animals.
