Gumby was bored around the house so he decided to go to the zoo with his pony Pokey. Other than watching cable TV shows, like National Geographic and Animal Planet, Gumby had never before seen wild animals in real life (such is the life of a celebrity!).Advertised for that weekend was a White Elephant Sale. Even though his preference would be a green elephant, a white elephant would make a pretty cool pet as Gumby has a large back yard. Alas, they were out of white elephants (the red elephant was not for sale).
The animals became very excited upon seeing Gumby and most broke out of their cages or bounded over their fences. This sent visitors and staff helter-shelter to get out of the way of the roaring lion, the hissing python, and the thundering hippo. Big Red (the elephant) and Yellow Fellow (the giraffe) were pleased as punch to pose with Gumby for a photo opportunity.
The giraffe exclaimed “I never in the whole wide world believed I would EVER see Gumby in person. This is da bomb!!! The elephant was overheard saying “That Gumby – he’s bootylicious”.
