The bright sun shone over the African Rainforest. Murilla Gorilla lived in a hut on the mountain. She was asleep. "RING!" It was her phone. "Murilla Gorilla Detective Agency," Murilla said sleepily. "Murilla, come to Mango Market! I have a case for you," said Ms. Chimpanzee. "Okay," said Murilla. She hung up the phone. But Murilla never rushed. "Zzzzzz." She went back to sleep. "RING!" "Murilla! Where are you?" cried Ms. Chimpanzee. "I am coming," said Murilla. Murilla got up slowly. She looked for her detective badge. Murilla's hut was messy. She found her badge. It was in the bathtub! "Now I need my backpack. Where is it?" Finally she found it in the fridge. PUTT! PUTT! Murilla drove down the mountain. She always drove very slowly. At last, Murilla pulled into Mango Market.
