The zebra had been freed of the annoying fleas and the two birds had enjoyed a splendid meal. “Thank you very much for pecking those nasty fleas off my body.” “Oh! We must thank you, for providing us with such a flea meal – free meal.” Animals helping each other – as Pick and Peck helped Zippy – is called symbiosis.

ZIPPY THE ZEBRA
Zippy had walked a long distance in the African savannah to reach a small lake. He eagerly quenched his thirst and went to rest under the cool shade of a baobab tree.
Zippy tried to fall asleep, but he felt uncomfortable and very itchy. For days, there had been tiny fleas all over his body. He tried to get rid of the fleas by swishing his tail from side to side. He tried to get rid of the fleas by thumping his four legs one by one on the ground. He even tried thumping all four legs at once! He rubbed his whole body against the tree trunk. He tried to get rid of some fleas by licking his face with his long tongue. But nothing seemed to work! The fleas just wouldn’t go away! No swishing or licking, and no rubbing and thumping, could make them leave him. Finally, he became so tired and irritated that he rolled on the ground with his feet up in the air.
He saw two little birds perched on a branch of the mighty baobab. They made a lot of noise, winked at each other and darted down. “Wow, that was something. Are you O.K., Pick?” “Sure, Peck, I’m fine! Ehh- hi, I’m Pick!” “And I am Peck, hi!” With a sheepish smile, Zippy got to his feet. “Ahem, nice to meet you. I am Zippy.” “You have such deliciously tempting fleas on you!” Pick and Peck settled down on Zippy’s back. “Delicious?” groaned Zippy, “I am totally bugged by them! I just can’t get them off, no matter how hard I try.”
“We are very hungry, Zippy, and we love fleas. May we eat up all these… nasty creatures?” asked Pick and Peck. “Sure! Be my guests!” exclaimed Zippy delighted.
The birds began. They pecked at the fleas on his face and legs, they cleaned Zippy’s belly and cleaned Zippy’s back. The zebra stood still, letting the birds eat their fill. And finally, they were all happy.

THE GREATEST TREASURE
One day, Peter found a treasure map. “Hurray! I’m going to find this treasure and have some adventure!” he exclaimed. Peter set off. He walked a long way and finally reached a forest. There he met Lion. “You are strong and courageous,” said Peter to Lion. “Will you come with me on a treasure hunt?” Lion agreed and joined Peter. The forest was dense and dark. Peter was afraid, but with Lion by his side, he made it through.
When the two finally reached the mountain, they met Eagle. “You have excellent vision and can alert us to dangers,” said Peter to Eagle. “Will you come with us? We’re looking for a treasure!” Eagle agreed and joined Peter and Lion. The mountains were tall and craggy. Lion slipped, but Peter was swift enough to give him a hand and pull him up. Eagle, with his sharp vision, watched every step they took.
Soon, they reached the valley below where they met Sheep. “Will you join us in our search for a treasure?” Peter asked Sheep. “And keep us warm when it’s cold?” Sheep agreed and joined Peter, Lion and Eagle. A cold wind swept across the endless meadow. They all huddled against Sheep, who kept them warm and cozy.
The four finally reached the desert, where they met Camel. “You are called the ship of the desert,” said Peter to Camel. “Will you help us get across and join the treasure hunt too?” Camel agreed. Peter, Lion and Sheep mounted the camel and set off happily across the vast desert, with Eagle enjoying the spectacle from above. Camel began galloping and everybody cheered with excitement. Crossing the desert on Camel’s back was thrilling!
The five finally reached the ocean, where they met Turtle. “Can you help us cross the ocean?” Peter asked Turtle. “We are on a treasure hunt.” Turtle agreed and joined Peter, Lion, Eagle, Sheep and Camel. The rough waves almost drowned the party, but Turtle skillfully transported them across.
They met Owl on the other side. Owl spoke from his ancient wisdom: “Congratulations, you have found the treasure.” “Where is it?” they all exclaimed in surprise. “Together you have passed the forest, climbed the mountains, dared the valley, braved the desert, and crossed the ocean. You would never have done it without one another.” They all looked at each other and realized that Owl was right – they had found friendship! Indeed, they had found the greatest treasure ever!
