Russell and Pierre had been sitting on the high wall at the edge of the playground overlooking the valley. The were animal spotting. Thus far Pierre who was considered a farm boy, had spotted five different antelope in the valley savannah below them, and was busy explain the differences to Russell who had known only the city life and the convent.
“Snake! Snake!” some of the kids were yelling at the top of their voices as they ran into the playground.
