BILLY AND US

In a school in Barcelona there was a group of 2nd Eso students who were going on a trip to New York. They had won a quiz show on TV and the prize was a weekend in New York... Wonderful!!!

In the class there were two students: Emma and Bruna. The day they had to travel to New York, they woke up late so they didn’t arrive on time at the airport. They couldn’t find their classmates and a flight attendant told them that they had missed the flight. So they decided to board on the next plane. When they got off the plane, they felt very surprised to see so many plants, trees and wild animals. They thought that it was a joke. Actually, Emma and Bruna were in the Rainforest of Amazonia. Bruna began to laugh: - I’m sure it’s a trick. – says Bruna. - I'm not so sure… - answers Emma. While they were walking through the forest they suddenly heard a strange noise. There was a monkey lying on the ground. It was wounded. They thought he was about to die. But it wasn’t. The monkey looked at them while it was complaining. So they decided to help it. –Let’s give him a name! - said Emma -What about “Monkey? – she asked to Bruna. –That’s very original! - said Bruna ironically. –What do you propose then? - said Emma offended. -First we should know if it’s a male or a female? – said Bruna. -It’s a male! - answered Emma.

-Do you like Billy? – said Bruna. –Oh! Yes. It's a good name! Suddenly, a man appeared and told them that he was looking for them. He explained that their parents, their teachers and friends were very worried. Before leaving the Rainforest, they decided to save Billy and take him to Barcelona.

When they arrived in Barcelona, they took him to the zoo. The monkeys keeper accepted to take care of him.

The next day, they and their classmates went to see Billy at the zoo. He was safe and they were happy for having helped Billy.
