The Special Guest

Zebra can hardly contain his excitement  when he receives a dinner party invite from  Lion - the king of the jungle!

Elephant on the other hand is more sceptical  about Lion's motives. She sets out to prevent  Zebra from going to the party, but Zebra  thinks Elephant is jealous because she  hasn't been invited!

Elephant tries to keep Zebra busy and in the meantime  the invitation blows across the savanna...  leading Porcupine and Rhino to believe it is  addressed to them.

Lion is less than impressed when the wrong  guests arrive at his party. When clever Elephant disguises  herself as Zebra, Lion also ends up very  squashed and confesses all.

Zebra is truly sorry for how he treated his  friend Elephant and is grateful to her for  saving his life.
