7 Jill’s Story

CHAPTER 7 JILL'S STORY Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved animals. And she didn't just love them- she could also understand them, and they could understand her.

She spent every spare moment of her time with animals and helped them whenever possible.

But what the little girl wanted more than anything was a pet of her very own, and even though her parents were really rich and could have afforded to buy her millions of pets, they wouldn't let her have even one... not even an ant. Can I have a pet cat? Cats are annoying. Can I have a pet dog? Dogs are noisy. Can I have a pet guinea pig? Too smelly. What about a pet crab? Too pinchy.

The only thing her parents were interested in was having parties with their fancy friends on board their luxury super yacht.

One day, the little girl was on the deck of her parents' yacht when she saw an enormous fish. It was creamy white with large, greenish-blue veins all over its body and it smelled like moldy old cheese.

The little girl, who knew everything there was to know about animals, recognized it at once as the legendary Gorgonzola-the greediest and most disgusting fish in the ocean. It stank like the stinky cheese it was named after and swam around the world eating everything in its path. As the little girl watched in horror. Gorgonzola swam closer... and closer... and closer.
