    CHAPTER1: THE CURIOUS GIRL

    Vivian was feeling excited as she was coming back from school accompanied by two of her classmates discussing happily. What made her feel glad was that her mother was to return home. To add more to her excitement was the fact that the next day was her birthday and she had earlier concluded that her mother would not be around. Early in the morning when Vivian woke up, her father told her the good news that her mother would soon be back home. She had travelled for three days to see her parents. Mother arrived in the evening. Vivian, her elder brother and her father were extremely happy as they welcomed her. After Dinner, Vivian went to meet her parents to inform them on what she wished for her 13th birthday celebration.

    Daddy, I will be very happy to have the opportunity to visit the zoo to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. Vivian told her father.

    Wow the zoo! Why the zoo my dear daughter? her father asked.

    You know the zoo consists of wild animals such as lions and tigers which are scary animals, it won’t be proper for your birthday celebration. Her mother put in gently.

    I want to go to the zoo Mum, in my last social studies class, the teacher taught us about wild life and this will be my best opportunity to learn about wild life.

    If it is so, then, you will surely be granted the opportunity to visit the zoo. Her father assured her.

    That will be very lovely. Her mother said smiling.

    She thanked her parents so much and went to bed feeling so happy. Early Saturday morning, Vivian was woken up by Noah (her brother) who was singing a happy birthday song, she felt very happy and she hugged him happily. She went to the sitting room to meet her birthday surprise, a medium sized cake beautifully adorned with small burning candles with her name boldly written round it. She was surprised beyond words, because she never expected a birthday cake. The cake was cut by her and the family had a lovely meal for breakfast. After the breakfast, Vivian asked, Mum when did you bake the cake?

    Ah! My dear darling daughter, on my way back, I bought some baking materials and I woke up very early to bake it.

    Wow! Thanks very much Mum.

    Everyone got dressed immediately in preparation to visit the zoo. The zoo was located about two miles away from home, with a smooth and lovely ride in the family’s car they got to the zoo so soon. Wild Life World was a big and beautiful zoo where people trooped in daily to entertain themselves. They went to the zoo manager and paid the required fee. They were accompanied by a zoo keeper as they visited different habitats of the animals in the zoo. First, they visited the Monkey’s habitat, a beautiful vegetation habitat. Vivian was so excited by the activities of these monkeys jumping from one tall tree to another. They visited the elephant, ostrich, peacock, tiger and lion’s habitat. Vivian was so excited seeing these animals except the Lions and tigers which made her so scared. Vivian enjoyed herself and thanked her parents so much for giving her the opportunity to visit the zoo. The family had an enjoyable ride back home.

    Mummy! the zoo was very exciting, I wish to know more about the animals. Vivian told her mother.

    Oh! My sweet daughter I have some tales which I intended to tell you concerning what had happened in the animal kingdom.

    Mummy I will be very happy to hear them.

    My grandfather narrated those tales to me when I was a young girl, they are eight beautiful tales about the animals.

    It was in the evening that Mother called Vivian and Noah to narrate her tales about animals. They were excited as they sat down gently beside their mother listening attentively to her tales.

    CHAPTER 2: DAWN OF LIFE

    Like the dawn of everything else, the dawn of life in the animal kingdom was very lovely. Everyone in the animal kingdom was living happily and peacefully. The king of the animal kingdom was Dale (a Lion). There was abundant food in the animal kingdom. Everyone related freely together and there were no foes. The animal kingdom was beautifully adorned with different beautiful creatures and the evergreen vegetation that housed the animals. The state of the kingdom was an Elysium that showed the perfection of the work of nature. A festival was held annually in the animal kingdom and it was known as the Festival of Harvest. During the festival, there will be abundant food and everyone will be merry. Every animal was feeling so excited as the festival came near. All necessary preparations were done for the festival. The elephants, zebras, antelopes and kangaroos were to perform a circus. The monkeys were the music band in the animal kingdom. The festival was started by Dale. Every animal in this kingdom is welcomed to this year’s festival. You can all enjoy yourselves as much as you desire. The monkeys started the music with the circus animals performing beautifully. All the animals were extremely glad and there was merriment till the end. The animals continued their blissful life till the next year when the rain that usually blessed the kingdom’s beauty began to reduce. The little rain resulted to shortage of food. Everyone was really sad, moping about how awful their festival is going to be, because of inadequate food. Despite this, the festival was held, food, dancing and singing was minimal. The climatic condition grew worse as if the clouds had been sealed by an unseen force. Rain ceased to fall, famine arrived gently to the discomfort of everyone. It seemed strange as this had never happened before. The famine made life terrible for every animal in the animal kingdom. Some food was stored in reserve in Dale’s kingdom, which only the sick animals were entitled to. Almost every animal practically had no food to eat and there was little water for consumption, as almost all the water bodies had dried up because of famine.

    Dale knew that something must be done before every animal in the kingdom starved to death. He therefore decided that a meeting must be held to find a solution to this interminable problem. Dale immediately sent out his messengers to disseminate the information that everyone must come to the king’s palace for an urgent meeting. The animals wasted no time, they all arrived the palace promptly.
