A man goes to a zoo and sees a gorilla in a cage. The gorilla looks sad and lonely, so the man decides to strike up a conversation with it.
"Hello, Mr. Gorilla," the man says. "How are you feeling today?"
To his surprise, the gorilla replies, "I'm feeling fine, thank you for asking. I'm just a bit bored being stuck in this cage all day."
The man, intrigued by the talking gorilla, asks, "Can you tell me about your life here in the zoo? Are you well taken care of?"
The gorilla sighs and says, "Well, the food is okay, but I miss being out in the wild where I can swing from tree to tree and be with my family. Plus, the other animals here are a bit annoying."
The man feels sympathetic towards the gorilla and decides to try and help him escape. He starts looking around for a way to unlock the cage when suddenly the zookeeper appears.
"What do you think you're doing?" the zookeeper asks.
The man explains his plan to rescue the gorilla, but the zookeeper laughs and says, "That gorilla can't talk. He's just messing with you."
The man is shocked and turns back to the gorilla, who is now making silly faces and laughing at him.
"I can't believe I fell for that!" the man exclaims. "I guess I've been bamboozled by a gorilla!"
The gorilla continues to laugh as the man sheepishly walks away, realizing that he had just been the victim of a hilarious animal prank. From that day on, the man always had a newfound respect for the mischievous intelligence of gorillas.
