"The Birthday Celebration Race" by skipperjen
A flutter of activity stirred in the early evening air of the Lost City of Geraptiku. Under normal circumstances, the mysterious jungle surroundings would have been silent. Today, things were different. An Elephante tromped past the collection jar of the vacant Petpet shop, doing his best not to drag a large banner through the rich soil.
