The Monkey was in child support court.
The Hippo, his wife, wouldn’t even look at him. She was distraught.
And the judge, an orangutan, didn’t know what was going to happen.
The Monkey loved his wife. He loved his family. But he doesn’t know what’s going on.
He’s in a shelter, he can’t get a job. He doesn’t even have bus fare. The Monkey loves his wife, but he just doesn’t have the money. He doesn’t know what to do. Now he could face jail.
So he listened to the judge, with her robe and gavel. He doesn’t want to go to jail, and more importantly – he loves his family.
So he jumps up and starts serenading to his hippo wife.
“My love, pretty darling! Y’knowww darling my dear! Don’t you knowww…”
She glances at him and smiles. He wins her affections and they walk out arm in arm.
Case closed. And the Orangutan judge doesn’t know what to say.
Sometimes it’s better to solve your problems out of court rather than go through trials and tribulations in court. Sitting in there can make it worse.
