Mr king lived with six hundred wild animals on the Greek Island of Kyklos. Ever since he left school, he had travelled all over the world collecting animals foe his own zoo, He hoped to collect two examples of every kind of animal on his island. But he was afraid that people would find him someday.
He wrote books about his travels, and abour his animals ehat he collected. The money from the books helped to pay for sll the food these animals atr.
One day, when Mr King was out looking for drinking water, he found oil. He needed money for his travels and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy enough water he needed all his life, but he knew that if he told anybody else about it, it would be the end of his zoo and his work.
So he decided not to tell anyone about what he had found, because oil anf water couldn't mix.
