Gorilla Shufai is chasing his big brother Lope. When they come outside the second time, Lope has stolen the hessian sack of his brother. Shufai really loves this sack and has been playing with it for days. Lope teases him, that he's got it now by waving it in front of him. Lope runs away, puts the hessian sack on his head and starts running with Shufai in close pursuit. I'm surprised Lope can still see where he's running. He manages to find the door hatch and both run inside. When they reemerge Lope still has the sack that Shufai tries to get back. Then Shufai gives up and just goes back inside. I'm sure there was another sack there somewhere, but you know what it's like you with brothers one always wants what the other one has. Lope climbs down from the climbing frame and goes inside as well. About 5 minutes later he sits outside again with the sack. Then goes back in and back out of the other side. He keeps looking at the door, obviously waiting for his younger brother to come out, but he doesn't come so Lope walks back inside.
