Georgina-Ii

(Continued) With careful steps she gingered along, as she hardened and felt strong. Tip toeing and glancing with stealth, She again began fearing for her good and health. There came a deafening roar from north, and in the south a jackal began a killer howl. The puny heart in her obesity got lost, as she dreaded the horrific cost. She now almost ran, and had the bushes in quick pan. Panting and huffing she came clear, and caught her breath dear. She was now in grass land wide, with sun shining on each pore of her hide. Her loggy legs and herculean chest, heaved the steps and sighs which came at last. She eyed far and long, but only found flying birds singing the song. Determined she scoured the scene, and saw that was not till now seen. It was a faint line of smoke, billowing miles away from a chimney poke. Her eyes brightened and sparked, as she took quick steps like a delirious hark. It was a jungle homestead, she would not stay here and walk there instead. Thinking thus she walked not aware of arounds, in the frightening and terrible surrounds. (To be continued)
