One beautiful sunny day the girls decided to go on safari in their backyard.
"I am all ready to shoot some animals!"
Emmie cried, brandishing a very big gun!
"Oh! No, dear!" cried Ariette. " We will be shooting the animals with these!"
And she handed Emmie a camera.
"We will take many beautiful pictures to show Maman!" said Evie.
The girls checked their equipment.
"I have the canteen in case we get thirsty!' said Jacquie.
"I have the binoculars so we can see all the animals!" said Mandie.
"And here are the map and compass so we do not get lost!" said Aubrey.
And so they started off.
Mandie scanned the deep, dark jungle for signs of life.
Suddenly there came a loud trumpet, and a huge bull elephant came crashing through the undergrowth!
Next they spied some zebras peacefully grazing on the savanna.
Some lovely long-necked giraffes were feeding nearby.
But watch out! A hungry lion is waiting to ambush his dinner!!
Down by the river Mr. Hippo is searching for a succulent bite of grass.
At the campsite the girls set up their tent.
Suddenly there is a commotion in the camp!
A wandering band of monkeys has
come to call!
They want to be friends!
Can we keep them?
These are not quite ready!
Ah! Just the way I like them!
After a long day, it feels good to crawl into bed.
