A boy gets a job at the zoo.

On his first shift, his manager asks him to feed the fish and clean out their aquariums. After many hours scrubbing away at the dirty tanks, the boy gives the fish the wrong type of food, and they all float to the surface dead. As the boy doesn't want to loose this new job, he scoops the fish out, and puts them in a wheelbarrow. Having frantically searched for a hiding place for the fish, he decides to try feeding them to the zoo's only lion. As expected, the lion at them all up and the boy's job was safe.

The next week, the manager asks the boy to clean and feed the chimp enclosures. Unfortunately the same accident befalls the chimps as the fish had, and again, the boy wheelbarrows them to the zoo's lion and feeds it the chimps, and as before all evidence was eaten by the lion.

The next day the manager asks the boy to smoke out the bees and collect their honey. The boy does this, but over smokes the bees and they all die from suffocation. The boy collects them in his wheelbarrow and mushes them down to a paste to feed to the lion.

After a while the manager cant figure out where all his animals are going, so buys a new lion to compensate for the losses. After the new lion has arrived, he strolls up to the older lion, and introduces him self. "what's the food like around this place then?" he asks. The old lion replies "not too bad, last week I had Fish, Chimps and mushy Bees!"
