Fourth and Final Day at Quiet Waters
As we were descending Usandisa, we saw a lost zebra, which soon found it's herd again and we also saw two magnificent kudus.
Safeena got left behind a bit, but soon found her way to us again.
When we got to camp again, we found the bags ready in the trailer to be taken home again. Soon after we got in the cars to drive Julie home in Esigodini.
Then we drove off to Chipangali. Once we arrived in Chipangali, Miss McCullum went to pay for us while we inspected Princess Diana's Children's Center.
As we entered we saw all sorts of trees, plants and animals. The aquarium itself could have been called "Marine Wonderland." Secondly we saw a baby impala that was asking for quite alot of attention while a three legged duiker lay in the corner. In the middle of their enclosure was a cage with two warthogs in it. One was a male with two warts and two tusks while on the other hand a female had four warts and no tusks. While four people and I entered the rabbits enclosure and five others were with the guinea pigs, I failed to catch a rabbit so I tried my luck with a guinea pig and after all that trouble I managed to catch a guinea pig so stroked it untill we left.
As we strolled into the old park we saw antelope of all sorts, some would lick your fingers and some would want to be stroked.
When we saw a duiker on the left we turned around and saw a white rhino which was quite friendly so Riyah and I stroked it's horn while we had the chance because other people wanted to do the same so we were pushed away quite soon after.
As I carried on with my walk and I saw a leopard and I felt really sorry that he was in a cage instead of running wild.
As we walked on we saw Mad Murdock lazing in the sun.
Next we saw two hyenas, one friendly and one jealous. As we were walking back to the leopards cages, I noticed a hyena lying on it's back and after a while I realized it was none other than our very own dear Mucheke.
When we were at the vervet monkey's cages a man called us to come and see the owl we had bought in before. As we wondered among the injured animals, I stared wonderingly at the wildcat, slowly purring at it to come towards me and then all of a sudden we had to go.
When we were walking to the cars, I realized Chipangali needed money, they needed funds for the injured animals, so I decided at once to donate funds and you could too!
When we got back to school, it just felt strange coming back to a quiet life when we had had so many adventures at Quiet Waters.

There was one a girl who always asked questions. Her name was Daniella.
She had beautiful long black shiny hair. She always wore her favourite shirt
and a black pair of ski-pants and a black pair of boots. She also had a cute
brother named Mark (who was the same age as her).
Daniella was 12 years old
and so was Mark. Daniella had a mother named Bridget Anderson and a father
named Nicholas Anderson. Mrs. Anderson had beautiful long shiny hair like her
daughter's hair. Mr. Anderson had dark brown hair like his son's hair. Mr.
Anderson was a lawyer and Mrs. Anderson was a hair-dresser. They both worked
from 8.00 am too 3.00 pm.
The kids' school was now over so Mr. and Mrs.
Anderson decided to go on holiday from 23 September to 5 October. They packed
their bags and went to the airport.
Mrs. and Mr. Anderson and their two children went to Europe but as soon
as they arrived at the airport Daniella lost her diary. You see, Daniella's
Diary means a lot to her. Daniella's Diary has all, and I mean, all her
SECRETS!!! It's got even her boyfriend's name in it! Daniella looked in all
three of her bags. But there was nothing to be found. Then she looked in her
handbag and there it was.
They unpacked their bags when they got to their
house where they were meant to stay for the holidays.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson
went fishing while the children went to the beach and made sand castles.
Daniella's castle was the best. Then, suddenly, Daniella thought: "Let's play
20 questions but instead of 20 let's do five questions. I am starting. - Why
do parents want CHILDREN?"
Daniella's question was so strange that Mark could not answer it so he
just said: "Why do parents want children?" They thought and they thought but
never got the right answer! They asked friends and neighbours and they said
that they did not know. When the day was over they asked their mother. Their
mother said: "Families want to become larger and larger. So instead of doing
something boring, they did something useful. Daniella tidied the boat with her
mother. Mark tried fishing with his father and they had a happy holiday. When
holiday was over they went back home in Cape Town.
The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the Unicorn all over town
Some gave them brown pies
Some gave them white pies
They never stopped fighting.
Janet was a kindhearted girl. She wanted a horse. She had everything but
a horse. She had a saddle, bridle, etc. One day she got a letter from her
grandfather. It said:
Dear Janet,
How would you like to come with me to the horse show. I'll by you the
horse of your choice. Love from your grandfather.
She met her grandfather at the bus-stop and they went. Janet went twice
round all the horses but she never found the right one. Then they both saw a
crowd and there was a cute foal. Janet asked grandfather. He said O.K. When
she got home mother and father were surprised. Mother said that Janet will
have to wait two years to ride it. Janet waited! Two years finally passed and
Janet rode the horse. She is very happy and so is her horse.
There was once a man who had no money. He sold his furniture for an old pot. He was so tired that he put his hat in the pot. Whe he got home - wow! Was his wife mad or what!?! She said so furiously: "This pot is too big for cooking and too small for bathing!!!" While the man was taking out his hat he saw two hats. They put their money in and they made a bundle. They danced and they sang and they all fell in. There was double all of them. A mother choose a husband. They chose a baby. They lived happily ever after.
