Ravenous Ravenous Rhinos
The African savannah had not seen rain for a month. All the plants had dried up and died. The
only sources of water were the watering holes that all of the animals drank from. The animals
were fine when it came to quenching their thirst. However, the plants did not fare as well as the
animals. The watering holes could not water the plants, so just about all the plants were dying.
This caused quite the problem for all the herbivores in the area. Especially the rhinos, they really
did not like it when they did not have enough plants to eat. So the rhinos got an idea, and it was a
rather avaricious one. They decided they were going to go on a rampage into the nearby town of
Orania. In this town the people had all saved up plenty of plants just in case a drought came
along. The rhinos learned of this from a wandering bird, so they capitalized on the opportunity.
The entire rhino population then charged into the city and caused a ruckus. They rammed into the
building where all the plants were and began to feast. However, as soon as they began to feast,
the sky opened up and rain poured down from the heavens. As soon as this began to happen the
rhinos felt terrible about what they had done. They felt so bad that from then on, they would hold
humans in as high of respect as possible. They had learned their lesson. When you’re feeling
ravenous, be patient and ride it out.
