I must be in the Christmas Play ..Second Post

The next day we find Jumbo feeling much better not a sign of "Jungle 'Flu".He jumped and skipped off  to the waterhole to find his friends.He heard a sound coming from behind,it was like the patter of hooves and rustling of leaves.Quickly Jumbo rushed ahead and hid among the huge banana leaves.

Very gracefully Zebbie Zebra trotted along....Jumbo slithered  out from behind the banana leaves.Hi Zebs,where are you going?Off to get my stripes into shape for Christmas .Your stripes into shape for Christmas.........what are you doing for Christmas Zebbie?
Just thought I'd try to get into the Christmas Play.

I don't advise you to do that because I heard that the organisers are very fussy about the animals who are to be in the play.Just be happy to be around with all the other animals .Should be great anyway.

Jumbo did not want Zebbie to try to get into the Christmas Play just in case there would be no room for him.
Oh! dear Jumbo that was not very nice.

Would be interesting to find out later what Jumbo has up his sleeve.
