As the big fiery ball began to make its way to retirement for the day, my body was hot and sweaty, so I ambled on down to the water-hole with my ears flapping to cool my body and keep the buzzers away. An orchestra of birds was warbling a song for me, and a troop of monkeys were hoping around me in the tree tops getting a last bite to eat before nightfall.
A few of my rellies were at the pan and we enjoyed a good long welcoming drink from the clean piped water, before having a much appreciated swim in the pan. Ahh what bliss! When I had finished up with my immersion I mumbled a cheerio to my herd and ambled off feeding and coating my skin with cool Kalahari sand to keep nasties off my skin. When I got to the hard baked road there were two very large colourful machines making their way towards me. I thought, well there is not much else to do so let’s have some fun. I decided to stroll down the road in front of them. Unfortunately, a pang in my stomach soon got the better of my so decided to step off the road and grab a bunch of lush green grass shoots.
While I was enjoying a juicy morsel the two irritating machines tried to creep up closer to me, so I wandered back onto the road to see if they would back off. Damn, that pang is back – gotta sort it out – time for another munch. Amazingly enough every time I had to relieve the hunger the noisy machines would creep up again. Soon another green machine started coming down the road towards me making a loud banging noise. Darn it is the man who is in charge of the park and now he is going to spoil all my entertainment!! Oh well, that was fun while it lasted!!
