A gentle, playful creature, Ginger likes a joke as well as anyone, but her latest prank has brought disgrace upon lier head. Ginger vobbed a baby of its bottle. While, she was gambolling about the other day, much to the delight of admiring spectators, Ginger saw a baby about to proceed to business with h nice, large bottle of milk. Ginger likes milk, so she ambled over. Such is her charming personality and engaging manner that none denied her as she took the bottle from its owner. She moved off a few paces and sat down to enjoy herself. Placing an empty paper bag on her head she began to take nourishment. Everyone enjoyed the fun, except the baby. Ho still had not had his lunch. But a zoo official took compassion on him and drove him home with his mother to get a brand new refill.
