What’s
a birthday without a party? And what’s a party without friends?
When
the party was announced all over the zoo, all the animals were excited beyond
means. There’s going to be dancing and singing and mainly, eating! It was Abe
Aldabra’s 112th birthday! Now 112 is a fascinating number and
everyone knew it. The zoo itself is only 63 years old. Abe was already well
past his middle age when he arrived at the new zoo. Initially, all the other
animals were skeptical, for Abe was older than everyone. But as time passed by,
they came to admire him for his wit and wisdom. After all, experience matters!
Everyone
at the zoo celebrated their birthdays with pomp and glory. And when it’s their
dear old Abe’s birthday, it’s something special. But Abe hated his birthday
parties. It reminded him that he was getting old. Every time he was sad about
it, his friends cheered him up and got him ready for the party. And this year,
too, is no different.
Enam
Elephant took care of all the decoration, Fredric Flemingo baked the cake, and
Quinto Quetzel organized the party events. And when it was time for the party
to begin, Abe went missing! Everyone thought he was getting ready. They knew he
would take his own time, but would arrive on time. They were wrong this time.
Abe didn’t come on time. Everyone was ready with their party hats and gifts.
‘Where is he?’ was the question on everyone’s mind. And no one knew the answer.
Abe’s friends got worried …
So
where is Abe? Why hasn’t he showed up yet? Is he onto something? Isn’t he going
to show up at all? What is the reason for his absence? Want to know the
answers? You will, of course, when you read Party
at the Zoo! Welcome to the amazing world of colorful animals!
