You are a zookeeper, and one day a shady looking man brings in what he calls an “exotic animal.”  This animal is in a wooden box with small air holes on the top and the box is stamped DANGEROUS. He throws a picture on your desk and you look at the strangest creature you’ve ever seen. Write a scene describing the animal and the man’s story for how he found it.
