Glasses and the Elephant Cage

Ok. So, today I had most of the day off so I decided to explore the city some. I found the zoo and decided that would be fun. And, oh, I had a classic experience. I was wearing my sunglasses and had my regular prescription glasses on top of my head. I was enthusiastically enjoying the elephants and monkeys. They were so awesome! Until, my glasses fell off the top of my head INTO the Elephant Cage!! Oh, my gosh. So, I thought about jumping the fence myself because they were just out of reach and the fence was waise high at this point. But, I thought that might be dumb. So, I went to one of the employees and explained in my broken Spanish and a small game of charades that my glasses fell into the elephant pen. Ha! (at the time it wasn't funny). Anyhow, the fence was only waist high at this point along the cage, then there were 3 feet of grass, and then a massive pit that was intended so the elephants couldn't cross. It really wasn't that dangerous. The guy tried to scoop them up with a broom, but I finally said please can I just jump over? He kept saying it was too dangerous. But, then he jumped over and got them in a matter of 15 seconds. It was awesome! Well, not in a good way, really. Just hilarious. I can't believe this happened! I'm sooooooooo glad they didn't fall into the pit and it really wasn't dangerous to get them. If we had to call the elephant keeper I don't know what I would have done! thought you might enjoy this story. Rich missed it all. He was teaching this afternoon.
