After a zookeeper's button pops off his jacket, he spends the day self-castigating ("You're getting very fat," "You're getting old, too"), but the animals believe he's talking to them. After realizing that he mistakenly donned his son's jacket, he rights the wrongs. This whip-smart original tale is accompanied by digital art reminiscent of M. Sasek.
