Zoë

Hi, My name is Zoe

 Last night I paged through

An animal-book with daddy

There was this picture of a strange-looking animal 
So with my eyes all big and curious I asked:
“Daddy, what is that? “
That, my girl, is (or rather was) a rhino

They were one of the animals that made up the “Big Five”

That is, the five most dangerous mammals

But daddy, I asked with a tear in my eye

Why aren’t they here anymore?

Did the other “Big Four” ate them?

A croaky, heartbroken voice answered….

No my dear, there was some …… well…

Really really cruel people who shot them

One by one with big guns

Simply because they were greedy

Now I cannot show you this animal in real life

I said a prayer, a simple prayer, that one last rhino

Can have what my name means – LIFE.
