| We climbed into small boats to go for a ride And saw parrots and squirrel monkeys unable to hide. Then Mel saw a 3-toed sloth high on a limb, "Wait here!" Hugo yelled, "I'll climb up to get him!" Hugo went up the tree full of stickers and junk And chewed through the vines 'till the sloth went KERPLUNK! "Grab him!" Hugo called from the top of the tree, So Pat did just that and we all squeeled with glee. The sloth had no fear and was cute as a bug, We all wanted to hold him and give him a hug. But the best thing for the slow-moving, sweet little boy Was a minimum of handling; he wasn't a toy. We went back to the ship with our cute little friend, After photos, Hugo took him back home once again. (continued on page 15) |
