The day was drawing to a close, the sun had almost set and Duma made his last walk through his district. His senses were tense. His eyes touched every little corner of the African savane. Even if it was almost gone, the sun was beating down on him. A lukewarm breeze brushed him and tousled the bit of fur that hung over his face. Duma stopped and straightened it out.
"Oh look, it works!" he grinned when he finished. But suddenly he heard a noise. He turned his head carefully in the direction from which he heard the sound. His ears were up, taking in every sound. The tip of his tail twitched impatiently, like his leftzen. A low rumble came from his throat. He heard the grass rustle again. Duma narrowed his eyes to get a better look. But when he realized what was in store for him, he immediately stopped and even yawned. Duma sat down and said:“It's good Demoness, you can come out.” Two long purple sans peeked out from the tall grass.
"But I was so quiet this time!" exclaimed the ears.
"You are not quiet enough. I am a cheetah, I hear everything."
“You stupid show off!” The purple ears jumped out of the grass and landed in front of Duma. It was Demoness, a little rabbit who had come to Africa with the people back then. Duma was very happy that people had been gone for so long. Peace had returned. These people had only brought difficulties for him and the other animals ... And they had simply abandoned Demoness. To Dumas' astonishment, Demoness was not a normal rabbit. It had a long purple and white striped tail with a fluff. His paws were purple too, as were his ears. It must have come from another animal ...
"I've heard from the birds again!" exclaimed Demoness excitedly.
"Yet again?" asked duma, scratching behind his ear."And do you believe them?"
"Why not?" asked the little rabbit.
"Because the last time they told you a hippo ate an elf." said Duma and lay down on the grass.
"No, you are right this time! You don't joke about that!" Duma yawned again.
"Then read it, listen ..." He put his head on his paws and closed his eyes.
“You will not be happy about it!” Duma did not answer.
"Okay ..." Demoness took another deep breath.
“People are coming back!” Dum's eyes suddenly opened. The blood froze in his veins. With horror he remembered the time with the people, When they were still here and almost killed him. They had even killed a friend's young ... Duma took a deep breath, smiled, raised his head again, and patted Demoness' head.
"They'll definitely come! And when the time comes, flights will grow and we'll fly to another country, okay?" Demoness took Dumas paw from his head."That's no joke! The birds migrate from Talzu Tal themselves! They must know best! Believe me, this time it's definitely true!" Dum sighed and sat up.
"I feared that ..." He got up completely and continued his stroll. Demoness hopped after him.
"What will you do?" asked he. Duma didn't answer for a long time, but then he said:
"I don't know why you always have to come to us and can't go anywhere else, but if you ever cross my path I'll destroy you!"
