DONKEY KONG

Donkey Kong is a very busy man. How busy, you ask. His job is to run through the jungle every day and punch all of his enemies or his empire will fall into the sea. Now that’s busy. No one envies him, running, punching the air, crying, why are you making me do this. Even the coconuts left around for respite say something hurtful to him. Donkey Kong goes to bed around 9:30 and gets up at 5:00 am.
