Gorilla, Digit killed, 1977, Friday noon

Gorilla sits in the field note for 1977 under “Digit killed”, and the figure beside it is 1972. At the end of the children’s table, check that the label and the notebook match, and correct the notebook if they do not. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. Koko (gorilla) (1971-2018, United States) is filed here as a dated individual, programme or portrayal -- not as a rank of the living animal. At the children’s corner, open Gorilla so the notebook shows 1977 first, 1972 next, and “Digit killed” beside them.

This week, before you open the animal book in the children’s corner, write only the name, the year, and the figure on the notebook, then read those three lines once and close the book. At home, leave the notebook on the shoe shelf and, the next morning, read the three lines aloud once, then shut it. The order is Gorilla, 1977, 1972, then “Digit killed”. When the picture book is done, look again only at 1977 for Gorilla and leave 1972 on the notebook.

Do not line the species up by size, danger, or popularity. If someone asks which animal is greater, read the field entry for that year again. Check the picture-book label against the notebook, and leave any ranking space blank. Do not merge a zoo birthday with the field survey. This week, keep only the field side. Match Digit killed with 1972 at the children’s corner before you close 1977 for Gorilla. Gorilla sits in the field note for 1977 under “Digit killed”, and the figure beside it is 1972.
