JABALI AND THE BIG FIVE

Grandmother's special book

The book contained beautiful images of the Tsavo National park. Grandmother Mary , had always loved travelling and experiencing nature. Jabali remembered one occasion when grandmother had returned from her visit at the Tsavo. She was quite exhilarated as she narrated the story to Jabali. Grandmother Mary had spent days preparing for the trip after her win at the local town centre. The Knitting competition held at the town centre was attended by many people. The ultimate price was an all-expense paid trip to The Tsavo National park. Grandmother Mary had been practicing for the competition for almost a month and it wasn't a shock when she emerged the winner. She decided to go for the trip with grandfather and it was their last trip before they decided to go for missionary work in Ethiopia. Grandmother had told Jabali that the book was gifted to her by one of the tour guides at the Museum section. The guide was impressed by her vast wildlife Knowledge and decided to gift the book. Grandmother felt the book was special hence she gifted it to Jabali. Jabali interest in wildlife and efforts in the environmental club made him the perfect candidate for the book. The amazing pictures of the Tsavo captured his attention. Jabali kept flipping the pages with an urge to know more. Rex joined him at the reading table to look at the images of this somewhat special book. They say a picture is worth More than a thousand words. Jabali couldn't agree more , he got to learn about the lion , the king of the jungle. The elephant and giraffe with their various adaptation. The similar yet different spots of both the leopards and Cheetah. Jabali made up his mind to save up money and visit the Tsavo in the near future. Since he wanted to be an environmentalist in future , he knew that the Tsavo wouldn't a must visit place for him. He would be an environmentalist who can cook. Once in a while he would take his friends for nature walks which will be concluded in a picnic which he would have prepared. He had an insatiable liking for both good food and the environment at large. He starred at the picture of the Lion , referred to as the "King of the Jungle" in all his might. Jabali also got to know about the endangered species and the importance of protecting nature for posterity. The Rhino also caught his attention , with its powerful features and adaptation. Jabali remembered how he had once organised a trip to the zoo but it was unsuccessful due to the interrupted school calendar. Jabali understood that nature needed to be protected and he promised himself to be at the frontline , to protect nature. At the second last page of the nature book , Jabali discovered a button written " ENTER " he looked at the button suspiciously and wondered how it go to the nature book. It looked and felt like a button found in amusement parks to start off an adventure. He suddenly felt scared and quickly closed the book and returned it to the drawer. He left his room and went back to the kitchen to get some food.
