There was a big party in the city of Animalstan. The party was being held at the biggest park in the city of Animalstan. All the animals in the city had been invited. Gina,the giraffe, with her long neck, arrived at the party with her three children trudging behind her. Her husband , Ruffy, had gone to look for some soft leaves for the children's dinner that night. Shumba, the lion, arrived leading a pack of five lions, and walking shyly, as if he suspected someone was up to something against him. Allen, the elephant, appeared at the party with all his children and grand children, walking as if he was the king of Animalstan. Tiger, the tiger, also was at the party with his kin.
