A long time ago, about 100 years, the first Gorilla that had ever walked the earth actually had a tail believe it or not. His tails made him stand out in the jungle. The Gorilla was called Kong and Kong was real wonderful friends with an old wise turtle named Jim. Jim was always the one who knew everything; because every time Kong had a question Jim will always have an answer. Now there is no telling how Jim came to be or how he ended up meeting Kong, it just happened.
For a while everything was going how it was supposed to go, everyone was getting along and there wasn’t really any situations that came up. Jim and Kong had their everyday conversation about what was new in the jungle or what they did that day or the day before. Animals kept coming and going they never seemed to stay and rest, always on the move. The only ones who seem to stay put was Jim and Kong. …show more content…
One day a something strange happened, it was something that made everyone feel uncontrollable.
No one knew what happened but ever since that day everything just felt different. People say that the feeling that the animals had was like the feeling we had when we thought someone was following us or watching us. No one felt the same everyone seemed to always be watching for something, for what…...no one knew. Some said that an enormous shadow has gone over the jungle, others thought that a new breed of animals came to the jungle. Whatever it was the animals in the jungle need a protector.
Now when you get a good look at Kong it is like looking at a skyscraper or an elephant. Kong was the biggest animal in the jungle and they were no one else that could match his size. Everyone came together for a “meeting” and Jim
said
“Animals of the great and mighty jungle! We have heard your cry! We have came together to see if one of you could be the one to stop who or what ever has came upon us!”
Jim and the other turtles started talking because they was like the elders of the jungle and Jim was the leader of everyone and Kong never knew until that day.
“Which one of you would volunteer to be our protector?”
No one said that they would, so all of the turtles came together and came to an agreement.
“We have made our decision. Kong would you step forward. Here is our protector, we will do what we have to do to make him ready!”
A few weeks later when Kong was training the elders started to realize that Kong isn’t gaining strength like what they need him to be. They tried everything they could think of and nothing was working. They tried changing what plants he was eating, then started to feed him only meat, then a mixture of both plants and meat. Still nothing was working.
Jim calls Kong to talk to him in private. Jim was telling Kong the only thing they haven’t tried was cutting off his tail. Kong did not like that idea because he was proud of his tail. Jim said to Kong,
“You have to chose what is more import here. Is it your tail or the life of many others. You will not suffer without a tail, I haven’t seen you use your tail for anything other than show it off.”
Kong agreed to the idea. A week later Kong’s tail came off and he started to gain strength so quickly he became ready and no time. The following month they saw what was making them feel the way they did. A group of Lions came and started to cause trouble, everyone knew that they didn’t belong here. Kong came up to them and asked them to leave, they refused. Kong asked again and again and still they refused. Then they all started to attack Kong at once, this is where all of the training paid off. Kong did what he had to do and the lions ran off and never returned. There was a cheer of praise for Kong.
Everyday after that day was back to the way things were now there was more animals who stayed in the jungle. Even Kong founded some Gorillas and started a family. Kong sees now why life is such more important than anything. Kong is enjoying his
And that is the tale of how the Gorilla lost its tail and got its strength.
