Then, in the middle of the celebrations, the mayor of Neustadt bursts in with an announcement: He has hired the shrewd Zora Zack to modernize the zoo and make it the new prestige object of Neustadt. And the busy expert doesn't take long: first she wraps Benjamin around her finger with his beloved sugar cookies - he is to become the new advertising face of the campaign - and then the first construction cranes roll in.
