Chapter Seven

In Africa a family was on a trip. A small boy was playing in sand, just outside the trailer.

A younger girl came close, she was a strange colour to him, not whole white like him and not black as the original African tribes; like them she didn't have anything on.

The boy looked in fascination as the big animal circling him and went to the little girl. The massive creature pushed the girl with it's wet nose.

"Yaarr," the girl answered pleading, leaving, but her features were no longer of a girl, but a small animal. She turned into the cub of the bigger animal…
