"We can work this out - I know we can!

Luckily, I have a clever plan!

Fox, your hearing and night vision,

Make you my choice to complete this mission.

Try to get a good look at its face.

Report back tomorrow. Same time. Same place."

When Lion discovers a strange creature lurking beneath the Baobab tree, fear begins to spread through the jungle. Turning to his friends for help, Lion sends Fox, Ox, Bear, and Owl to investigate.

But with each report, the mystery seems to grow more alarming. Is the creature brave? Cunning? Strong? Wise? Or have the animals let their imaginations run wild?
