A little story about Bonzo the Gorilla:

Bonzo is a great drummer. He pounds on his chest and creates a catchy beat. He has a great sense of rhythm and when he hits the beat, it is impossible not to tap your feet along with him. Bonzo is a one-of-a-kind gorilla, and you’ll never forget the fun you had listening to him play!
