One of the other children busted into the small brown haired girl as they waited in line to enter the zoo. Too much money had been spent on her in recent times to ready her for school in September, but, she wanted to come to this party, the zoo sounded so pretty and Magaret liked flowers, they were soft and they made her smile. She had even dressed up her simple outfit with a small flower she had picked off of the ivy from the outer wall of her home.

"How many luv?" the teller asked the man at the lead of her congregation. "Ah yes, myself, my wife and 7 little ones please" he replied as the ground moved through and were hastily counted in. Maggie felt a hand on her head as she was counted and she carried on into the zoo. The even smaller girl beside her missing the count as she had hoped, these weren't her family, she hadnt even met them before but the large brood allowed the small and unassuming Wallace girl to slip by without payment.

But where next?

She was hungry, she carried and apple and a cob sandwich in a wrap of paper in her bag but it wasn't time to eat that yet. Her hunger was quickly replaced by excitement as she saw beautiful animals and picked up her pace, leaving her temporary family behind her. "What is... that?" she stared wide eyed at a creature that had the softest grey fur and bushy black and white tail. She kneeled and put her her finger on the bar near the creature as it chewed on a peach, she made funny noises trying to get its attention.
