Mr. Durrell feels that Africa government is currently with gorillas which may extinct in next 20 years.
Being an animal lover he planned to take it and asks the dealer about the price of baby gorilla.
Dealer says it costs 1200 pounds which he feels is very cheap for a baby gorilla but fears that it may be a baby chimpanzee as most animal dealers can’t seperate between chimpanzee and gorillas.
Only problem is that he doesn’t have that amount.

During lunchtime he collected two hundred pounds.
2nd person on list is Major Domo.
But he’s astonished when that man agrees to pay 1000 pounds for that gorilla.
