African Safari Adventure

Kit and Matthew began their African safari at the watering hole. They
had two days to see all the wildlife they could. Their parents and the guide
kept them safe. The first morning ten elephants claimed the waterhole for
their morning bath. Soon Kit counted eighteen zebras coming for water. A
dozen ostriches wandered in and started making noise and acting silly.
Matthew laughed hard and loud at their acts. His noise sent five zebras
running off.

The next day, everyone rode into the bush. They paused to look at a
lone rhinoceros standing in front of them. While they were looking, it began
to charge them. Kit and Matthew screamed, but the guide drove them to
safety. Further on they found a pride of eight lions dozing under an acacia
tree. Behind the lions played a lionesss and its seven cubs under the tree.
Matthew and Kit saw a giraffe with a baby standing beside a tree. The giraffe
stretched to reach its food with its tongue. A trio of hippopotamus moved
nearby to threaten them. The hippopotamus ran out of sight when the jeep
came too close to them. Everyone was tired. They had not seen any
crocodile. The lions roared and the rhinoceros threatened them. What an
exciting adventure they had!
