My pink Nikes pounded on the dusty gravel road as I ran along through the savanna. Giraffes towered over the trees munching away on greens, birds sang from the nearby trees. I continued running along then a painful cry echoed through the valley.

A wall of shrubs loomed up ahead. I slowly separated the bushes and saw something that made my heart skip a beat.
