Pizarro saw animals of different types. Lions, tigers, monkeys, cheetahs and even snakes. All just climbing trees of various sizes. The grey monkey was the only animal that could reach the top of the tallest tree, which was about 25 meters long.
Pizarro tried to look for any animal from the water that was climbing a tree. He sure enough found an animal from the water but it wasn't climbing a tree.
Gino, the hippo was playing in the mud made from a mixture of its tears and the soil. Every animal had a name tag so he just read it out.
"Hello Gino, are you male or female or some other gender?" Pizarro asked.
"Other gender? Never heard of any other gender apart from male and female", Gino replied.
"Well, humans now have transgenders and some crazy stuff going on", Pizarro shrugged. "Well, that's why they're so stupid. I killed one and was sent here as a punishment", Gino said without emotion.
"You killed a human?", Pizarro gasped as tears welled up in his eyes.
"You don't waste them tears, come and join them to mine so we can have a nice time," Gino said with a smirk.
"Are you flirting with me right now?" Pizarro probed. "Yes, and that goes to show I'm female", Gino replied.
"Yeah right, I'm kinda sad", Pizarro said with a sigh.
"Yes, I am too, but let me listen to you," Gino said.
"Well, my parents sent me here to learn how to climb a tree," Pizarro said. "Hmm, reminds me of a quote I heard a human say one time," Gino said thoughtfully.
"What did he say," Pizarro asked.
"He said, if you judge a fish by its ability, it will spend its whole life thinking it is stupid," Gino said with a proud look on her face.
"Wow", said Pizarro. "Yeah it was so deep I was too busy thinking about it to kill him", Gino said.
Pizzaro eyed her and asked after much thought, "So what do I do".
"Well if I knew, I wouldn't be here. I just failed the entrance exam and I've been advised to withdraw. Meanwhile, my dad told me not to come back to his house without the certificate. But in the meantime.."
"Pizarro the Dolphin!!! Pizarro the Dolphin!!! It is time for your entrance exam." cried the tutor, Cubon the old monkey. "Okay Gino, catch ya later", Pizarro waved.
"Yeah, you'll be back for sure. And I'd sure love to ride that white belly of yours", Gino said when he was out of earshot.
