Skipper leaves Marelene and Kawolsaki behind as they laughter about Skipper being the third cutest of the zoo. He finds Private skipping rocks pouting about the second cutest of the zoo. He walks up to Private,and Private comes to attention.
"Adeas, soldier.," says Skipper "What's wrong?"
"Ah, nothing really. I know it shouldn't bug me but I've become jealous of Mort." says Private
"Because, he was voted cutest?" asks Skipper
Private nods sheepishly, and Skipper sits down by Private.
"You know, I think Mort should be jealous of you." says Skipper,patting Private on the head.
"Whys that sir?"asks Private
"Because, he doesn't have a family. Like you do."says Skipper
"A family, sir?" asks Private
"Yeah in fact, your the baby of the family." says Skipper
"What do you mean?" says Private
"I'm saying, were all brothers the four of us. You being the baby. Mort doesn't have that, you do. So he should be jealous of you."says Skipper
Private thinks for a minute about what Skipper has said. After a minute he smiles, and looks at Skipper.
"Thank-you, Sir." says Private
"No problem, now watch your big brother get a triple skip, then I'll teach you how." says Skipper, picking up a rock.
"Really? Thank you." says Private
Skipper makes his triple skip, then teaches Private how to do one. They spend the rest of the day skipping rocks together. The two brothers enjoy the day together.
