Joe finally got away from the counselor, and started to backtrack his earlier movements. He was startled to find himself face to face with a naked man. The man was wearing his ring.
"I wish you'd strip naked and give me your clothing, young man," said the naked man, "and then wait to see what I'll do to you next!" He grinned a big toothy grin.
Joe swallowed hard, but obeyed. He had to obey. In less than a minute he was naked and handing his clothing to the naked man who proceeded to get dressed.
Joe found he was unable to flee or fight, he just stood and waited for whatever the strange man wanted to do next. It was so embarrassing standing on a street corner in his birthday suit.
Now the man spoke, "There's a certain female zoo keeper that I've had my eye on, and I'm sure I can get a date with her, if I return her missing chimp," he nods knowingly at Joe.
Joe feels really itchy all over. His knees begin to flex, his arms feel like they're dropping out of their sockets. Joe's muscles twitch. His hands swing helplessly brushing his knee caps. He looks up at the man, who seems to be growing. The buildings are also growing.
"Oh, no," thinks Joe as he realizes he is shrinking, and turning into a chimp.
"You'll obey me, and be a perfect little chimp. Now come here," the man said holding out his arms. Joe moved on all fours, and jumped up into the man's arms. He turned the corner and started walking back toward the zoo with the chimpanzee clutched to his chest like a baby.
