Angels in the Animal Factory draw pictures and make up names to invent the first animals. Artist Foreman comes up with the word 'lion' and then has trouble deciding what it should look like - should it have feathers or be rainbow colored? With the help of his fellow artist he finally arrives at the perfect look for lion.

First words
Long, long ago, high in the sky, way above the clouds, there was a white and silver palace. It was called THE ANIMAL FACTORY. It had three rooms. There was a white fur room for cold days, and a white feater room for hot days. It had a roof made of silver fish scales.
