hey it's mrs. Jackson today I'm going to be reading pages 51.67 of The One and Only Ivan going to start on page 51 in the chapter is called not sleepy I say after Julie and her father go home I can't sleep of course you can she says you are the king of sleepers Bob says from his perch on my belly and dreaming about chili fries I'm tired I say but I'm not slow what are you tired of still I think for awhile it's hard to put into words gorillas are not complainers we're dreamers so it's the last of her nap takers I don't know I can't get my tire swing I think I may be a little tired of my domain that's because it's a cage Bob tells me off is not always tactful I know Stella says it's a very small domain are very big gorilla by the ads Stella I asked yes I noticed you were limping more than usual today is your leg still bothering you just a little fella answer ice I Bob resettle his ears Fleck he drools a bit that I don't mind I'm used to it by eating something Stella says that always makes you happy Hayden old brown carrot it doesn't help that I don't tell Stella she to sleep you could try remembering a good day Stella suggest that's what I do when I can't sleep Stellar remembers every moment since she was born every cent every sunset every light every you know I can't remember much I say there's a difference Telesis gently between I can't remember and won't remember that's true I admit not remembering can be difficult but I've had a lot of time to work on it memories are precious Stella ads they help tell us who we are try remembering all your Keepers you always like scar all the one with the harmonica are oh yes I remember how he gave me a coconut when I was a juvenile it took me all day to open it I try to recall other Keepers I've known the humans who cleaned my domain and prepared my food and sometimes kept me company there was one who poured Pepsi's into my waiting mouth and go I know he used to poke me with a broom when I was sleeping and Ellen who sang how Much Is That Monkey in the window with a sad smile and she scrubbed my water bowl and there was Gerald once bought me a box of fat sweet strawberry Gerald was my favorite keeper I hadn't I haven't had a real keeper in a long time Mac says he doesn't have the money to pay for an a babysitter these days George cleans my cage and neck is the one who feeds me when I think about all people who have taken care of me mostly it's Mac I recall day in day out year after year after year Mack who brought me and raised me and says I'm no longer cute as if a Silverback could ever cute my falls on the Frozen cat carousel on the silent popcorn stand and a stall of leather belts this smell like long gone cows that had a work of Stella's breathing sounds like the wind in trees and I wait for sleep find me page 56 the beetle not gives me a new black crayon and a fresh pile of paper it's time to work again it's melted crayon I roll it in my hands and I pressed the sharp there's nothing I love more than a new crayon I search my domain for something to draw what is black in Old banana peel would work but I've eaten them all not tag is brown my little pool is blue the yogurt raisin I'm saving for this afternoon has white at least I'm the outside something moves in the corner I have a visitor a shiny Beetle has stopped by bugs often wander through my domain on their way to somewhere else hello fetal I say he freezes silent bugs never want to chat The Beatles and attractive buck with a body like a glossy nut he's black as a starless night that's it I'll draw him it's hard making a picture of something new I don't get a chance that often but I try it look at the beetle is being kind enough not to move then back at my paper and draw his body his legs his little antenna is expression I'm lucky The Beatles stays all day usually bugs don't linger when they visit I'm beginning to wonder if he's feeling alright by Bob who's known to munch on bugs from time-to-time offers he him I tell Bob that won't be necessary and just finishing my last picture when Mac returns George and Julia are with Him Mac enters my domain and picks up the drawing what the heck is this he asked Beast me what Ivan Dixie's drawing this is a picture of nothing a  nothing Julia just stand outside my domain can I see she has and Mac holds my picture up to the window you live tilts her head and she squeezes one eye shut then she opens her eye and scans my domain I know she explains it's a beetle say that Beetle over there by Ivan's pool man I just sprayed this place for bugs not Clark's over the Beetle and live the format can start the Beatles Skidders away disappearing through the crack in the wall nocturnes back to my drawings so you figure this is a beetle huh if you say it's okay well that's a beetle for sure Julia that smiling at me I know a beetle when I see one it's nice I think having a fellow artists around h-60 change cell is the first to notice the change but soon I feel it a new animal is coming to the Big Top Mall how do we know this because we listen we watched and most of always sniff the air he was always smell odd when change is in the air like rotten meat with a hint of papaya page 61 guessing Bob here's our new neighbor will be a giant cat with slitted eyes and a coiled to Estelle Atkins says a truck will arrive this afternoon carrying a baby elephant how do you know I asked a sample they are but it smells like caramel corn I love caramel corn I can hear her Stella says she's crying for her mother I listen I hear the car is charging pad I hear the snoring of the sun bears in their wire domain but I don't hear any elephants you're just hoping I say Stella closes her eyes no she says softly not hoping not at all page 63 Jambo my TV is off so while we wait for a new neighbor I ask Stella to tell us a story teller up to right foot against the wall her foot is swollen and it's not ugly they bread if you're not feeling well Stella I say you could take a nap and tell us the story later I'm fine she says and she carefully shifts or wait till after Jimbo story I say it's a fee one of mine but I don't think Bob has ever heard it because she remembers everything Stella knows many stories I like colorful tales with black beginnings and stormy middles and cloudless blue sky ending that any story will do I'm not in a position to be picky Once Upon a Time Stella begins there was a human boy it was visiting a gorilla family at a place called a zoo what's a zoo about asks he's a street smart dog but there's much he hasn't seen a good zoo Stella size is a large domain wild cage a safe place to be as room to roam and hurt humans who don't her deposits considering her words a good zoo is how humans make them Stella moved a bit running softly the boy stood on a wall she continues watching pointing but he lost his balance and he fell into the wild cage humans are clumsy I interrupt your phone they would knuckle walk they wouldn't have also often still in that has a good point Ivan in any case the boy lay in an emotionless teeth or humans gas and ride the Silverback whose name was jammed examine the boy as was his duty all the troop watch from a distance and struck the child gently he smelled the boys pain and then he stood watch when the boy woke his humans Hideout stay still don't move because they were certain humans are always certain about things the chamber would crush the boy's life from him the boy moaned the crowd waited hushed acting the worst ambulette history the way men came down on ropes in with the child The Waiting arms with the boy all right I've asked he wasn't hurt jealous says although I wouldn't be surprised if his parents hugs him many times that night Inbetweeners scoldings Bob who is Ben shoe Bob who has been chewing his fill causes tilting his head is that a true story always tell the truth although I sometimes confuse the facts he's 67 lucky I heard the jambos to remind me X Stella says that humans found it odd that huge silver-backed until the boy why Wonder was that so surprising the boy was young and scared and alone he was after all just another grade 8 Bob no just me with his cold nose Ivan he says why aren't you and Stella in his suit I look at Stella and she looks at me she smiled sadly with her eyes just a little the way that elephants only can do just lucky I guess she says weather for today
