And he swung his heavy head below,
Ramming his horns into the beast,
Then wildly shook him to and fro.
Zerleg lifted his large left leg,
And slammed the leopard down the hill,
The beast rolled into the dark dust,
Making sure it was gone for real
“There is no danger now, Ji Hui”,
Zerleg promised his words sincere,
From the look in his topaz eyes
Ji Hui knew there was no fear
Ji Hui felt grateful and loved
Zerleg and Od had been so kind,
JI Hui knew they would protect him,
Because once more they saved his life,
“Thank you dearly Od and Zerleg!
You’ve always cared strongly for me!”
“No problem at all!” chirped Od,
“I’m glad I can keep you happy!”
Zerleg guided everyone down,
To the plains where the journey ended,
Ji Hui felt a touch of sadness,
To lose the friends he befriended,
The plains were all in harmony,
Grass gently sprinkled in sunshine,
Swaying to the same Desert breeze,
Were long reeds of many types
Tickling Ji Hui’s thin little knees.

Where a sleepy camel lay,
He was lazily chewing grass,
And lounging about in the shade,
The three approached the camel,
Who only accepted to talk,
He refused to move or run around,
And definitely wouldn’t walk,
