“I must go.” said Michael Banks. “Why? Our daughter was just born and I can not take care of her and Charles myself.” asked his wife Jane. “You must let Charles and Sarah find me when they know that the time has come” he said. “How will they know where to go?” Jane asked. “This map will show them where to go, but the next place will not show up until they collect the jewel that I have carefully left at each place.” said Michael. “Okay, but please be safe.” Jane said as she hugged Michael good-bye.

They started talking about their father, then they heard “Hey! You two, I have heard of this Mr.Banks.” They looked around, but no one was in sight. “Over here!” the voice said. They looked at the gorilla. “Did he just talk?” Sarah asked. “Yes I did.” the gorilla said. “Look, the jewel is in the elephant exhibit, but you have to be careful or they will attack.” “Okay thank you! This should not be too hard.” Charles said. The children ran over to the elephants, but could not find the jewel. “The zoo is about to close.” Sarah said. “Come on, we will hide in the bathrooms.” Charles commanded. Once the zoo keeper left the zoo, Charles and Sarah left the bathroom and headed back to the elephant exhibit. “I will hop in and look, you stay out here.” Charles said. Charles saw the jewel by the food. He grabbed the jewel, but when he turned around, a herd of elephants were right behind him. “Sarah! Sarah! Catch!” He threw the jewel to his sister. She caught the jewel and started to run to the gate. The elephants started to chase Sarah. Charles headed out the back gate and ran around to the front. Once He got there, Sarah came running.
