Lucy and Wiz were visiting Kenya. It was a beautiful land with lots of green grass and trees. It was also the home of many wonderful animals. Lucy and Wiz had come all the way here just to take pictures of animals for their wildlife album.

The very first animal Lucy and Wiz met was a friendly young elephant. “Hello,” the elephant said. “I’m on my way to a birthday party. Why don’t you come along?” The elephant then lifted Lucy and Wiz with his trunk and gave them a ride on his enormous back.

“GROWL!” the bear said so loudly that Wiz ran up a tree. He shook like a leaf on a windy day, and only came down after Yuma’s grandfather came and scared the bear away.

Wiz went to the cornfield. He saw a big brown bear with sharp teeth and claws. “Mr. Bear,” Wiz said, his knees shaking.“P-p-please go away.”

But just as Wiz was about to take a bite of the buttery corn, Yuma’s cousin came up to him. “Help, Big Chief!” she said. “A snake is trying to wear my snowshoes.”“S-s-snake?” Wiz said, feeling very dizzy.

Yuma’s family grew lots of golden corn. It was Wiz’s favorite and now that he was Big Chief, he asked for a very big helping.“I am Big Chief. I have a very big appetite,” Wiz said greedily.

Luckily, Yuma’s grandfather was around. He picked up the snake with his hands and flung it into the woods. Wiz, of course, watched from the top of a totem pole.

“Hiss!” said the snake, which was quite long and green. “H-h-help,” Wiz stammered, his stomach feeling like it was full of butterflies. ffffff ffff

“Gee,” Lucy said, marveling at the ancient wall. “The Great Wall of China is longer than anything else humans have ever built. No wonder it is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.”“Did you know that the Great Wall can be seen from outer space too?” a furry black and white face said from behind the Great Wall. “Really?” Lucy said, and smiled at the face that belonged to a young giant panda.

Lucy and Wiz had won the first place in a model-making competition in their school’s Geography Club. They had made a replica of the Great Wall of China with tiny pebbles and bricks. And guess what their school principal had given them as a prize? Two tickets to China to see the real Great Wall!

Always Hung Lee

“I’m hungry, you see,” Hung Lee told Lucy and Wiz. “I have a big appetite and I must eat often, or my stomach will growl, just like my cousin, the bear’s.” So Lucy and Wiz went to Hung Lee’s house in the forest in China. It was a small cottage with bamboo growing all around it. They were thick blades of grass that looked and felt very woody.

The giant panda was well-mannered and friendly. He put his paw out and shook Lucy’s and Wiz’s hands. He told them that his name was Hung Lee. He also told them many more interesting things about the Great Wall—like how it was built to protect China from enemy attacks, and how its construction took several centuries to complete. Hung Lee then invited Lucy and Wiz to his house.

Swoop! Hung Lee gulped down all the bamboo shoots in the blink of an eye. He then asked Mrs. Lee to give him another bowl. “I once read that giant pandas, like Hung Lee, eat lots of bamboo. They have a very big appetite,” Wiz told Lucy, who was still wondering how to use the chopsticks Mrs. Lee had given her to eat her food with.

Mrs. Lee, Hung Lee’s mother, welcomed Lucy and Wiz warmly. She was an excellent cook and quickly laid out a feast for them. It included some delicious moon cakes and dumplings that were Mrs. Lee’s specialties. She then gave Hung Lee an enormous bowl of peppery bamboo shoots to eat.
