Introduction Paragraph

• This story is all about Mountain Gorillas. For
  starters, Ill just tell you some facts about
  M.G.s. They can smile and laugh just like humans
  and they get their water from the food they eat!
  Also, they dont have hair on their palms, faces,
  or soles of their feet and they live up to 35
  years in the wild. And females usually give
  birth to one at a time. They call adult M.G.s
  silverbacks and the way you can tell the
  difference between M.G.s and N.G.s (normal
  gorillas) is that M.G.s have longer and darker
  hair.
