Ah Hu decides to use this opportunity to experience what human life is like—lying on the sofa, having afternoon tea, and watching movies, as the caretaker had mentioned. Ah Hu escapes the enclosure and sees a wider world. A month passes, and after enjoying his freedom, will Ah Hu still miss his life at the zoo?
