Welcome to another story! This time our heroes – Lion Kuba, Desert Mouse Patrycja, Giraffe Zofia, and Anteater Alfred – will experience a truly extraordinary adventure.
Morning After a Night Mission
The previous night was extremely tiring for the animals. They spent the whole night searching for a missing turtle on the lake. It turned out that the turtle hadn’t gone missing at all – he had simply fallen asleep after a long game of chess with Badger! Everyone was tired and sleeping deeply as rain fell outside.
Fortunately, Desert Mouse Patrycja had set an alarm. As soon as it rang, she quickly rang the wake-up bell and woke everyone up.
„Get up, time for exercise!” she called out.
Giraffe Zofia, though reluctant to get up, knew how important movement was. She jumped out of bed and led the morning warm-up: bending and straightening her neck, squats on front and back legs, and even somersaults with neck rotations! The others tried to repeat her feats, but only Patrycja managed a somersault, supporting herself with her ears.
After exercising, they all jumped into the lake for a quick shower. They did cannonballs from the pier, and then, clean and full of energy, sat down for breakfast together.
Advice for Animals
That day they knew three animals would visit them. They guessed who would come: a green, an orange-black, and a blue guest.
The Frog’s Visit
First came a frog from the northern lake.
„Ribbit, ribbit, greetings!” said the frog, but no one understood her frog language.
Fortunately, Patrycja brought a frog language translator. After a moment, the device translated:
„Good day, I am a frog. I have a problem – someone is cutting water lilies from my lake. Because of this, I can’t practice jumps and somersaults, as I fall into the water!”
„This looks like a case for detectives!” said Alfred. „We must catch whoever is cutting the lilies.”
The frog thanked them and returned to her home, waiting for help.
The Leopard’s Visit
Next was the orange-black leopard.
„Hello cousin Leopard, what brings you here?” asked Lion Kuba.
„I have a big bump on my forehead, and tomorrow is a beauty show!” sighed the leopard.
„I have an idea,” said Giraffe Zofia. „We’ll use black powder to make the bump look like an extra spot.”
Zofia showed the leopard how to turn the bump into a new spot. The leopard was delighted and thanked them for their help.
The Dragonfly’s Visit
Last came a beautiful navy blue dragonfly.
„Nobody believes I’m just a regular dragonfly. They think I’m an enchanted princess and try to disenchant me!” she complained.
„We’ll organize an educational fair about dragonflies!” suggested Patrycja. „We’ll tell everyone about your life and show that dragonflies are truly special.”
The dragonfly was pleased and flew away to prepare for her appearance.
Detective Mission at the Lake
In the evening, the animals divided into two groups: Patrycja and Alfred paddled in a canoe on the lake, while Kuba and Zofia observed from land. All wore black outfits to blend into the night.
After several hours, they heard the sound of a motorboat. Through night vision goggles, Lion Kuba saw two figures cutting water lilies.
„Attention, they’re approaching you!” he whispered over the radio.
Patrycja and Alfred moved their canoe, and the motorboat passed right by them. When the thieves began cutting lilies, the detectives quietly approached and attached a harpoon with a rope to the boat.
Kuba and Zofia pulled the rope from shore. The motorboat was dragged onto the beach, and the surprised thieves couldn’t escape.
„Why are you cutting water lilies?” asked Lion Kuba.
„We wanted to sell them at the market; we didn’t know frogs needed them,” the boys answered.
„You must fix your mistake. Tomorrow you’ll return and install a special net where you took the lilies,” said Patrycja.
The boys agreed, and the next day, together with the animals, they repaired the damage. The frogs were delighted with their new exercise area!
Well-Deserved Rest
After the successful mission, the detectives took a day off. After morning exercise, breakfast, and giving advice, they sat on loungers with lemonade and watched the sunset over the lake.
„Together we can solve any problem,” said Giraffe Zofia.
And who knows what adventure awaits them tomorrow?
