Mr King lived with six hundred wild animals on the Greek Island of Kyklos. Ever since he left school, he
had traveled all over the world collecting animals for his own zoo. He hoped to collect two examples of every
kind of animal on his island. But he was afraid that people would find him someday.
He wrote books about his travels and about his animals that he collected. The money from the books helped
to pay for all the food that these animals ate.
One day, when Mr King was out looking for drinking water, her found oil. He needed money for his travels
and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy enough water for what he needed all his life, but he knew what if he
told anyone else about it, it would be the end if his zoo and his life's work. So he decided not to tell anyone else
about what he had found, because oil and water couldn't mix.
