One of the zookeepers began opening a few of the animals enclosures open at night, allowing them to mingle with each other after hours. As an experiment, he tossed them a deck of cards and a wad of cash, hoping to give them some entertainment. The group of animals, which consisted of a few penguins, a sea lion, some puffin, and two kangaroo, quickly developed a gambling problem. Their problem was unique, in that none of them knew how to handle a deck of cards, or understood the concept of money. They were perplexed by the situation, and not knowing how to communicate with each other regardless, allowed the problem to ruin their potential. The money was consumed by the sea lion, and the cards were never touched.
