Flora, Alexander and Pom find a rare animal called a Wully-Wully and everyone in Celestville is fascinated by it. Then the rhinoceros Rataxes comes and steals it. They try to get him back a few times until finally Flora goes and convinces Rataxes that they shouldn’t keep him in a cage at all. The Wully-Wully came and went as he pleased but he visited both, Flora in Celesteville and Rataxes the rhinoceros. Teachers could discuss with their class sharing and how stealing is not a good thing. If they wanted to get deeper they could talk about pets and if it is okay to domesticate animals. Teachers could have younger students write a story about sharing or about having a pet.
