Bobo was a great example of that . “ Uh okay “ feel responded . he wasn’t sure why he was being treated like a child , but he knew he didn’t appreciate it . He felt as though his intelligence was being challenged . “ zoo keeper ? you want me to babysit a snake monkey and a dog ?” deke asked confused by the task at hand . he was being expected to pet sit ? in a way though , he felt slightly appreciated , no one trusted him to do much . “ no uh - I can do it” deke responded quickly , stumbling over his words . he knew the man was keeping him busy , but he didn’t care . the chance to do something important overwhelmed his suspicion , and ultimately he agreed to the task .
