Barina squatted down and tried to breathe as quietly as she could, but her heart was racing! She grasped onto her binoculars for dear life and took a peek. She still couldn’t believe she was on Safari in AFRICA! It had been a dream of hers since she was nothing but a bitty hare to go on safari and here she was doing it!

A loud noise brought her back to what she was doing. Slinking across the Sahara was a most majestic cheetah. Barina was in awe! She had seen the amazing creature in books but now she was seeing her UP CLOSE! Her heart began to race even more as the cheetah slowly lumbered towards an unsuspecting hippo taking in some rays by the river. Barina came to a horrible realization. The cheetah was sizing up lunch! As the cheetah got closer Barina braced for the ugly call of the wild just as the cheetah pounced Barina tried to look away. The cheetah jumped!
“Booooooo!” Greta the cheetah yelled and laughed uncontrollably as she tapped Harriette the hippo’s shoulders.

“HAHAHAH! You should have seen your face when I scared you! It was priceless!” and she continued to laugh and roll around on the ground.

“UGH I hate when you do that! Why do you do that? I nearly soiled myself! I’m so glad you find such amusement in my short falls. You are quite uncouth, you know,” Harriette remarked but then started to giggle too. She and Greta had always played these games but she always seemed to be the one falling prey to the joke.

Barina sat in the bushes now even more amazed than before. Had she really just seen a game of peek-a-boo, between a cheetah and a hippo? WOW! This trip was everything she had dreamed of and more!

Come along with Barina as she makes friends and goes on another wonderful adventure!
