Phil and his two new friends ran off into the crowds. Zigging and zagging they worked their way far from Circe's Zoo. At last they stopped in a picnic area near a small lake. The three, winded sat down to plot their escape.
"Hey, my name is Phil, and whom do I have the very pleasure of escaping with?"
"Hey yourself whiteie' I'm Wallace Jay and this is Sammy junior!"
"Please think for a moment, I'm white your black but all three of us will be property of the zoo if we don't get together. Remember I tried to save your friends from a life as Zebras! Now by some stroke of luck I and you guys got away from the Coachmen, said Phil."
"COACHMEN, roared Wallace, if those white fools think they can catch Sammy and me....."
"Quiet you raceist nitwit, like I said your black I'm white but all of us will be jackasses for those Coachmen if we are found! Now I suggest we move slow and easy is a zig zag pattern toward and employee exit."
"Hey fool I don't want to work here, spouted Wallace again!"
"Sammy can you inform your brother that spouting off so loud draws attention. Attention, that if we are captured makes all three of us black skinned and hairy together. We need to think about getting out of here or plan on enjoying oats and hay, said Phil pleading for some sense."
"Quiet Wallace the man makes sense, we need to get out of here before they have everybody looking for our ass, said Sammy."
"Well OK, but I still think whiteie' got us in this mess, winned Wallace."
The three bought hot dogs and cokes. Mixing with the tourists was easy but often they saw Coachmen with photos looking over the crowd. "We got to get undercover soon or the crowd will thin and we are stuck, said Phil."
Zoo exibits were on the right and left of the AEnea Avenue. As they walked Sammy was first to notice that the blue trail was a circle and that they were again at the African Exibit exit.
Sammy quickly pointed to the gold trail and the three darted for the dark tree covered path. Walking with a Chicago High School group the three stood close.
"Our journey today leads us to the new exibit "A Farm in the Zoo!" A pretty and very thin girl in a white toga leads the group along the gold brick path.
"As before please do not step off the gold brick path. This is for your safety! All the animals are just that animals! We are rational humans in a animal world. Please do watch and read the warning signs, failure to do so could have you placed in the animals spiece, injured, or eaten for lunch! Come but be careful, as the pretty girl pointed toward the hog pens."
Phil, Sammy, and Wallace soon got and education about animal life on the farm.
"Hogs are an easy profit for the farm, said the guide. They take a small area, eat fodder that the other animals won't touch and grow quickly to be meat for the table."
Sammy pointed toward the gold bricks and how they came to within an inch of the wooden fence around the muddy pen. The hogs layed within inches of the open fence easily reachable by anybody on the path.
Just then a scream and some cursing came from the right side of the big group. The guide ran to see a nerdy white kid laying in the mud of the pen. As he put on his black rimmed glasses a big board stepped over and gave him a shove with his muzzel.
"DON'T HELP HIM, NOBODY TOUCH HIM HE'S INFECTED, yelled the guide. "Guide 24 to control, we have a teenager in the hog pen I need somebody from animal husbandry to handle his adjustment."
The boy lay in the muddy slime now face down with a mighty boar hog taking a hearty piss over his little human head. The happy bunch at the fence pointed and yelled at him till the pretty guide walked up to one.
"Funny, very funny, I think my manager would enjoy your company for a personal introduction to our rules here at Circe's Zoo, said the guide."
In a quick moment a Coachman dressed in his red coat grabbed the boy's arm and said "This way to meet my manager, dumb ass!"
Laughing and pointing the boy was walked off. Just as quick two white suited men picked up poor Ralph Franke and took him for cleaning and injections.
"Those two may join us later, said the guide!"
Wallace walked after his dumbass brother and the coachman. Sammy poked Phil and called to Wallace, Hey!"
Phil knew as did Sammy that Wallace was walking toward trouble. The two followed at a distance till Wallace made his big move.
"COACHMAN, HEY YOU FOOL, WHERE YOU GOING WITH MY BROTHER, yelled Wallace."
The big man turned and with a shit grin said, "Brothers, well we have a place for both of you!"
Suddenly four Coachman stood around Wallace. "Jim would you please inject that brother with his first dose of formula, said the Coachman holding his first catch."
"FO WH-A-T............!" As Wallace's legs folded up the four Coachmen picked him up and walked threw two white swinging doors. Phil looking at Sammy soon followed and inside the doors found themselves in a old wooden barn structure.
They jumped behind a pile of hay bales as they saw Wallace stripped of clothing and hung by his wrists from two thick ropes.
Half asleep Wallace tried to get loose but he was held very professionally. "BROTHER'S IN THE FLESH, HUH!" said the big Coachman as the other began to laugh.
Wallace kicked his legs at the big man but was not even close. "KICKING IS A PUNISHABLE OFFENSE !" The big man said as he walked around hanging Wallace.
In a drugged daze Wallace looked to his right and saw the other black student being trussed up naked as himself. "WHA... YOU DO'IN TO US," yelled a slurred speaking Wallace?
"PROPERTY, YOU ARE SOON TO BE PROPERTY, ORIGINAL ISN'T IT! said the Coachman loud and with a voice that could instill terror."
Phil knew the signs and so did Sammy as they saw Wallace grow quiet and just plain scared.
