      Banna and Bree Blown to Mission Beach, Australia - Karen Cross

      16

      Chapter 1

      Deep in the swampy grasslands of the Okavango Delta lived two baboons called Banna and Bree. They lived in a troupe of Chacma baboons where every day they rolled in the grass, bounded from tree to tree, and from bush to bush, where they hid at the first sign of danger. Life was good.

      Banna, the taller and heavier of the two and a male, was strong and playful. He loved his family and was very protective of his friends. He had a wicked sense of humour and enjoyed playing tricks on the other animals. Bree, a young female who stood almost a head shorter than Banna, was athletic and loved being active and healthy. She was a good problem solver as she was very clever. Bree was kind to everybody and was always helping the injured animals of the Delta. She had friends everywhere who wanted to play and explore.

      Banna and Bree were great friends who looked forward to fun and adventure and rose with the sun each and every morning so that they could play together and see what the day brought.

      It was here in the Delta where the water flowed down from the wet season in Angola flooding the dry plains every year. The new waterways created a bountiful oasis for the animals after a long dry season.

      On this particular day, Banna and Bree were playing at the waterhole with the other baboons when the bright yellows and pinks of the evening sky started to darken, and the chill of the winds began to whip around them. The leaves of the ground began to spin. They were curious and, knowing they had seen the wind blow up like this before, moved closer to where the wind was spinning the fastest.

      It had been months since Banna and Bree had been on an adventure, and they were both excited to see where the next one would take them. The leaves whipped up around their faces, and then everything became quiet and still.

      The cloud shaped like a beautiful lady appeared before them. She had her hands clasped in front of her and a warm smile on her face, just like she did the last time they saw her. Her smile was soothing and as she spoke they stood mesmerised.

      Banna and Bree, I am so happy to see you again, and again you came to me, so you must be keen to find out where I am going to send you this time. Our planet is amazing and it has so many wonderful countries to see and the animals are spectacular. Shut your eyes, and let’s see where I send you this time.

      Banna and Bree closed their eyes, raised their arms and felt the sensation of being lifted into the air. The cloud lady whispered, Banna and Bree, enjoy your next adventure.

      Chapter 2

      As the wind died down and the cloud melted into the air, Banna and Bree opened their eyes.

      They heard the calls of birds and saw a forest around them. On the forest floor the leaves were cool to touch but the air was humid and warm. The roof of the forest was hard to see through the top of the trees where the light filtered through in streams. The plants were green and lush. Banna and Bree could feel droplets of water falling from the leaves. Banna and Bree sat up and looked around them. They watched as an animal bounced on two legs past them, stopping to sit by balancing on its
