Stories from Kenya

On Thursday, a lady named Loretta Penny came in to talk to us about Kenya. She told us a story of when she was on a safari. The story was about a tiny little lion cub. The mama was walking and the two cubs were walking beside her. She got scared because she thought that the people on the safari were going to hurt her cubs. She walked away with one of the cubs and the other cub stopped and looked around. This cub started crying and the mama came back and rubbed her cheek against the other one, hit his head, bit his tail, and dragged him away.

She also told us a story about an elephant. She was in a tent in Kenya drinking coffee and the chef came running out and screamed "everybody get inside and whoever is last, zip the tent up. There is an elephant charging towards us!" Next the lady looked out her window and saw a huge elephant walking beside her tent. She wasn't scared at all and she took a nice picture of it. She has been to Kenya eleven times and so has already seen tons of elephants.

Our speaker brought a little store with her and we were able to buy things from her. Some people bought magnetized balls, some people bought mood rings, and some people bought flutes.

We really liked the speaker and we learned a lot about Kenya.

Thanks for reading!
