==== Chapter 29: The Zoo ==== | |||
A [[Young zookeeper (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|newly-recruited zookeeper]] for [[the Zoo]] of [[the Strange and Wonderful House]] meets up with an [[old zookeeper (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|old zookeeper]] for her first shift. She is surprised to find that the “Zoo” has no walled-off areas or bars, and is instead one huge, expansive landscape, complete with a rising sun over the horizon and rosy clouds in the sky. The old zookeeper explains that it's “more of a preserve” and walks her over to a jeep, where she is surprised to find a stack of fantasy novels on the backseat, which the old zookeeper claims are “homework for the rest of [her] life”. When the young zookeeper voices her confusion, he asks her how else she expects to learn “the difference between a [[Boojum]] and a [[Snark]]”, “where to tickle a [[Cthonian]]”, or “what to do to keep [[Grue]]s away”. Before she can reply, he prompts her to get in already, as it's feeding time and they have “a long journey” ahead of them. | |||
