Desert

A whole procession has come out across the dunes: two elephants in red saddle-cloths and gold headdresses leading, camels behind them in striped blankets, giraffes stretching up into the palms, zebras cantering along the front and a lion strolling out as though he owns the sand.

Behind them all is an old hand-drawn map, its coastlines and place names showing through the leaves, and the palm tops are full of scarlet and blue macaws watching the parade go by!
