There’s an Orangutan in My Shower!

by Isobel McCarthy aged 10

There’s an Orangutan in my shower, I don’t know what to do!
It’s jumping around, squealing at my shampoo.
It goes into my room ,jumps on my bed, then stops,and falls asleep instead.
In the morning, it scampers downstairs, and is livid with my chocolate spread.
When I come back from school, my room is a mess!
I am cross “What is it with you?!”
“Go away, you belong in a zoo!”
The Orangutan is sad, the Orangutan is blue.
Then it says, “Palm oil, tractors, destroy rainforests, for you”
“Is that really true?” I say in surprise.
“Home be destroyed, please me stay with you?”
I cry and say ” Of course, but we must help others who are like you!”

    This is an adaptation of Green Peace’s ‘There’s an Rang-Tan In My Bedroom’. I love it! It’s such a creative way of spreading the message that 25 orangutans get killed just for shampoos, daily! Love it!
