An Episode for Animalia

by Gaby Aniceto dedicated to Mr Graeme Base, the Author and Artist of the book called Animalia

It all started in a place I called Animalia. Everything was peaceful. All creatures were quitely having lunch at the Elephant's Eatery including the two creatures, Kabobo Gorilla and Iggy Iguana. But alas! Not all was peaceful after all. Livingston, ruler of Animalia kept an anxious eye on the core. It controlled everything in Animalia. If a corspore explodes something in Animalia, would be lost. Last week, the core cracked and 5 corspore exploded.

In the real world, Alex Stinkbug got up and went out of his room.

"Yeah!" he shouted as he jumped on his skateboard and rode away.

Zoey Stinkbug was talking to her friend, Emma as they rode on their bikes. Suddenly Alex bumped into Zoey and Emma and they all landed in the trash can.

"Hey blondie, give me six bucks!" said Zoey.

"Why?" asked Alex.

"You bashed up my bike!" shouted Zoey.

But Alex wasn't listening and walked away towards the library.

"Look, he is going to the library. We shouldn't let him escape until he pays us" said Zoey to Emma.

"Hey, Skaterboy, come back here!" said Zoey.

But Alex was quick and was now by the library door talking with the librarian.

Zoey followed him to the adventure section.

"Wow! I have never seen this room before" said Alex.

"That's freaky," said Zoey.

Alex went into what seemed like a portal and found a way to Animalia. Zoey followed and found themselves in the Animalian Library.

"Roar" said Livingston.

"Aaaaah!" shouted Alex and Zoey.

"You did not give them a friendly greeting," commented Rhini the Rhino to Livingston.

"I was going to, until you stepped on my tail!" said Livingston.

"Ooops," said Rhini.

Alex and Zoey ran outside but they were frightened of the animals.

"Who moved the city," asked Zoey.

Alex said, "I don't know"

They ran and ran and ran into the swamp where Alegra the Alligator lived. Alex saw the alligator about to chomp off Zoey's arm.

"G-g-g-gator" Alex stammered.

Zoey saw a Kabobo and said "G-g-g-gorilla"

"Bang-a-largl" Alegra cried.

"Come on guys," said Kabobo and he swung them to safety on vine.

"Yes!" shouted Iggy Iguana.

They landed on a tree branch and Kabobo gave them a banana.

They were safe. But they fell.

"Aaaaaaah!" cried Zoey and Alex as they fell into the treehouse where Iggy Iguana was.

"Please to meet you!" said Iggy Iguana.
