The Crossroads Tunnel
A zookeeper leaves a service hatch unlatched between two tube segments. A shy, solitary animal (often a binturong or a prehensile-tailed porcupine) wanders into the territory of a gregarious, lonely animal (a tamarin or a loris). Forced close quarters lead to mutual discovery. The trope plays on “only one bed,” but here it’s “only one tube, and it’s 3 feet wide.”
