Julia was a comedian, and also worked as a dancer in a club. One day she decided to go to Africa, on a vacation. When she arrived in Africa, she decided to go into the wild, without any supervision because she thought it would destroy her experience of the wild. So she took off her shoes and started walking deeper and deeper in the jungle. However, she made it a point to come back before sunset. While she was walking she saw many animals, and surprisingly none of the animals attacked her, not even the predators.
As she walked further, she saw little balls emerging from the ground. She was fascinated, so made it a point to walk faster towards them. When she went close, she realized they were some sort of heads. Finally, she went close enough to understand that they were the meerkats that she had also seen on the television. She went close to them, and noticed how erect their spine was, and how elegant they looked standing even though they looked a little surprised when they stood like that. She tried to copy how they were standing, and in minutes she was able to copy them really well.
Everyday, till she went back, she came to visit the meerkats. She found them charming, and thought that she learnt a great deal from them in terms of posture and body movements. She thought of including these movements in her dance, and calling it the meerkat dance. She thought, soon she would become famous as the meerkat dancer and how splendid it would be for her career. On her final day in Africa, she visited the meerkats for one last time. Today the meerkats thought to themselves, that they had been bothered enough already by this stupid woman, so they decided to chase her away. So, Julia was attacked by the meerkats today, and she didn’t understand it. She thought to herself that perhaps it was because they were angry that she was leaving them behind. She decided to leave, however sad the journey back home would be.
When she got home, she decided that she would do a comedy routine based on the meerkats. She already had plans to do the meerkat dance. As planned, her meerkat dance became very famous and she earned a lot of money. Slowly her life began to center around meerkats and she became obsessed with them. After a long day of work, her empty mind would revolve around the vacation she had in Africa with the meerkats. She packed her bags, and left for Africa, she had had enough separation from the meerkats. When she went down that same path, she saw the meerkats again. The meerkats recognised her at once, and pulled their heads in anger because they thought the stupid woman was back. This time, they wouldn’t let her go away easily, this time they were going to teach her a lesson, so all of them surrounded her, and bit her to death. So much for meeting the meerkats.
