Happy ending for the story

The story has a happy ending, as the gorilla eventually was tricked into trading the DSi XL to its trainer for a shiny apple, which is actually more than he would have gotten had he traded it in at a game store (I kid). It still worked, though it was covered in gorilla slobber and had a few more scratches than it did before it was handled by an animal that could pick up a car. Nintendo really builds solid hardware eh?

I don't know if I want to say I went ape for this story or if it drove me bananas,

Well, the gorilla is around 8 feet tall, so put that in perpective to how big the XL really is.

That's really funny though, and shows that the handheld really is for everyone.

I bet he was playing Donkey Kong game on it. (I don't know of DS donkey kong games)>
