“THE DREAM”
Peace River Shopper
As I set there watching Tommy, I began to think about how everyone talked about him getting left in the woods by that big old bear. I often had wondered how he was still alive. When we were little, I didn’t think about it at all. We didn’t spend much time together. But when we did, it was always in the woods. My Aunt and Uncle lived in that same old house that we were sitting in. And the only time I got to see him was when my family came over to their house. We did get in a little trouble alright, but it was mostly because he was real mean and had always been a lot bigger than I was. So I usually went with him where ever he went. But now he seemed to be more calm. Not nervous as he was back then. He was almost talking normal as he told us about the circus that was in town. He told us how he had went over to the circus to see if they had any work that he could do. They gave him a job right on the spot. They wanted him to feed the animals. Some of the people were afraid to feed certain animals. Especially the big ones like the bears and gorillas. He just talked and talked about those animals. He even knew their names. After we had been talking for a while, I cut in and asked him about the people that I had met at the chicken farm. He looked at me and starting laughing. You mean where you rode to in the back seat of the sheriffs car? I replied that it was, and told him that those people wanted me to thank him when I saw him again. He just smiled and nodded. What, I asked? What happened over there? It seemed Tommy didn’t like to talk about himself, he just said that there had been a break out at the circus and one of the main trained gorillas had gotten out and that the owner had sent him after him to bring him back. He tracked him to that old chicken house and found him looking through the wire at the chickens. Well, Alvin didn’t want to come back to the zoo, so I had to persuade him to come with me. We rolled around a little bit and kind of knocked a couple of their building’s down and part of their fence in the process. The circus owner was going to replace whatever they lost. My wife asked him, did you get Alvin back to the circus? Tommy told her yes, a couple of days later, after he went into town and scared some people coming out of the feed store. He told us that Alvin was pretty smart and hard to catch. He said that he had made his way all the way down to the river and gotten on that big dock at Harry’s place. I thought I had him caught at the end of that dock, but did you know that gorillas can swim? He just jumped right off that dock and swam to shore. I was so shocked it took me a minute to think what to do next. Finally, I jumped in the river and swam after him. When we got to shore, Alvin just jumps up and takes off. Me on the other hand had to stop for a minute and catch my breath. By the time I got on my feet, he was long gone. The next time I say him was at the back side of the circus. I’m not sure, but I think he was trying to get back in on his own. This time he came with me and back in his cage he went, without any trouble. Now everything was fine and the owner was very happy. When I told him about what little damage he had done he was real happy. Just a couple of barns and part of a big plastic fence that was around the back yard of Happy and Ellen Skates. That’s the old couple that own that big chicken farm. Didn’t that gorilla scare you any I asked? Not really Tommy said, we wrestle a lot at the circus. But Alvin never hurts me too much. I’m sure he could if he wanted to. He is a real big ole boy. That sounds scary to me Tommy, I said. But you say you only tore down barns and fences? That’s right said Tommy. Then what happened to all that chicken feed that was taken? He just looks at me and asks, what chicken feed?
