Danny was rattling around in the kitchen making his breakfast whilst Alice was sat eating hers before another busy day began.
"Put the kettle on" Alice yawned
"Why can't you do it?" Danny said
"Erm because you're up?"
"Fine" Danny grumbled
At that moment, Leah stumbled into the room wearing her Minnie Mouse pyjamas.
"Hey sleepy head" Alice said softly
"Hello" Leah replied clambering up onto a chair, "I want to feed animals with you"
"I'm sure you can" Alice smiled "Do you want breakfast first?"
Leah nodded and Danny proceeded to pour out a bowl of cereal for her.

Leah was darting back and forth from the cages and to Danny and Alice carrying water bottles, bowls, and odd bits of hay.
"All done" She announced
"Great" Danny said, fixing everything Leah had just done. Some cages had no bowls left in them others, the doors not properly attached; Alice too had been following Leah's every move making sure everything was done properly.
"What we doing today?" Leah asked.
"Well we have got lots of appointments and things to do but I'm sure you can find someone to play with. Nomsa said she was going into town so you can go with her if you like?"

"We need to get potatoes, oranges, bread, boerewors..." Nomsa said as they wandered through the town.
"I have boerewors at home sometimes" Leah interrupted
"Do you like it?"
"A bit"
Nomsa turned to the owner of the grocery stall and asked for some oranges.
"That's not English" Leah remarked after hearing Nomsa speak
"No it's Zulu"
"We do Zulu at school, daddy teaches me too"
"Are you good at it?"
"I can say sawubona and sala kahle" She attempted
Nomsa chuckled "very good"

This is a kinda crappy pointless chapter but I really had no idea what to write about, all my ideas are for when Rax turn up. Any ideas about what Leah gets up to at Leopards Den much appreciated :)
And boerewors for those who don't know what it is, is like a sausage but strong tasting and can be quite spicy, i hate to say it but i don't really like it :(
