"You must never startle an oryx" he puffed (catching his breath),

"Whose footprints are these?" Kito pointed at the ground.
"They only have two toes!" he frowned.
"They belong to the heaviest bird in all of the Savanna." Papa laughed with delight.
"The ostrich is so big and heavy, that it's wings won't even support him in flight!"

"And what is that, Papa?" Kito asked,
when he saw movement in the tall golden grass.
"Shhh.." Papa whispered,
"Let's hurry now, before the lions wake from their slumber".

Kito was surprised when they reached the waterhole.

He loves his home with his heart and soul.
*Kito is a Swahili boy's name meaning precious.
