Pixies don't just come in human form; they also sometimes manifest as animals. Only recently on a trip to the zoo did I notice this phenomenon. An egocentric Panda was dictating to his animal chums about the coming National Animal Revolution. Chi Chi the Panda was telling his befuddled listeners that he would build a mass party which would save the zoo. Chi Chi introduced his chums, a half-monkey, and a lady polar bear who had monkey babies. He said these were the soldiers who would save the zoo.

Along came the Black widow Spider who proclaimed that she opposed all species-mixing. However, she would make an exception with the Panda. This act of political gymnastics was bizarre indeed, considering that it was well known that the Panda was was a genetic hybrid - the blend even including Mongolian Goat blood. How his ancestors managed that freakish mating remains a mystery!

The Wart-hogs grunted that they would support the Panda Party in elections, as once they gained mastery of the Zoo Parliament, they would drop the pretence of being mixer-tolerant, and would slay the mixed beasts. They proclaimed their support of the Queen Viper, who, they said had a divine right to rule the whole zoo. They could tolerate any amount of mixing, so long as it didn't include animals which ate potatoes.

The Wolves told Chi Chi that they couldn't be in a Party which embraced all animals. The Lone Wolf exclaimed that it was this enforced species-mixing which had caused all the problems in the first place. The irrational hatred against Potato munchers, who had suffered incredibly at the Snake-ruled Weevils, taken alongside the acceptance of monkeys and mixers was proof of the insanity and immorality of the Panda - how much bamboo was he being paid for his treason? Was it willful because of his own bad blood?

The Hyenas laughed heartily at all the nonsense coming from Panda and his entourage. For years they had been trying to educate the other animals about the dangers of species-mixing, but their warnings had fallen on deaf ears due to the others believing the Vipers' tales that they laughed out of stupidity.

As I watched this lunacy, I thought to myself how odd it was that the old Zoo-keeper had designed the Zoo to keep the species separate, safe and happy, yet the animals had fallen for the lies of a cunning set of whispering Snakes.

Even if Panda and his sycophantic friends ever achieved access to the Zoo Parliament, it wouldn't make any difference, as the Snakes controlled it. As I left the Zoo I saw the Wolf defecating over the cliff into the Panda compound. I understood his frustration at the anti-mixing resistance being manipulated by a bamboo-hungry traitor on behalf of the enemy of the animals, but I don't know why he bothered wasting good manure on him - it mattered not how much faeces the Wolf managed to pass over the edge of the cliff, the Panda could never be any more full of sh..
