4 2016 - 201 [Maria and Oliver are attending a party in the garden of a house that used to belong to Maria‟s family. They sneak away to explore the grounds.] The Lost Queen Maria and Oliver were quite a distance from the party when they found the little ro wing boat in the grassy shallows of a small lake beyond the garden. Glancing nervously behind her, Maria suggested that they row out to the island in the middle of the lake. Oliver looked at her questioningly. Maria explained that there was a secret monum ent on the island to one of her ancestors. This was a woman who had married a prince at the time when there was a struggle for the throne. The struggle had been between two rival families – one had a lion as its symbol, the winner had a bear. “Come on,” M aria said impatiently.

5 2016 - 201 Oliver rowed while Maria stood barefoot in the boat, staring straight ahead. The oars made a click - clack sound in the hush and haze of the summer afternoon. Ripples of water fanned out behind them as they crossed the glassy surface of the lake. The tiny island, thick with creeping vines and roots, looked as if it floated. At its centre, an ancient oak tree towered over it. The tree‟s branches were like bent fingers, twisting and stretching outwards, until the tip s of its leaves touched the still water. Oliver carefully steered the boat through a narrow opening in the branches. Then they stepped out of the boat, and into a murky green space under an umbrella of leaves. The air was cool and damp. Maria led Oliver a cross the tangled ground to the hidden monument. It was a column of marble, weathered and mossy with age. A delicate crown sat at the top, and an inscription was carved into a flat slab at the base. Oliver used his thumbnail to scrape out the letters that were cut into it. It was a name. Maria‟s family name. “You could have been a queen?” said Oliver, whispering. Maria laughed gently in the gloom. “We were the family of the lion,” she said. Oliver could still hear the shouts and laughter of the party, up on the sunny lawn near the big house. But now the noise seemed to be getting further and further away.

6 2016 - 201 [This story takes place in a huge grassland area in southern Africa. The grasslands there are called „savannah‟.] Wild Ride Dawn was casting spun - gold threads across a rosy sky over Sawubona Game Reserve as Martine Allen took a last look around to ensure there weren‟t any witnesses. She leaned forward like a jockey on the track, wound her fingers through a silver mane, and cried, „Go, Jemmy, go.‟ T he white giraffe sprang forward so suddenly that she was almost unseated, but she recovered and, wrapping her arms around his neck, quickly adjusted to the familiar rhythm of Jemmy‟s rocking - horse stride. They swept past the dam and a herd of bubble - blowin g hippos, past a flock of startled egrets lifting from the trees like white glitter, and out onto the open savannah plain. An early morning African chorus of doves, crickets and go - away birds provided a soundtrack.

7 2016 - 201 For a long time M artine had only ever ridden Jemmy at night and in secret, but when her grandmother had found out about their nocturnal adventures she‟d promptly banned them, on the grounds that the game reserve‟s deadliest animals were all in search of dinner after dark a nd there was nothing they‟d like more than to feast on a giraffe - riding eleven - year - old. For a while Martine had defied her, but after several close calls and one terrible row with her grandmother, she had come to accept that the old lady was right. When l ions were on the hunt, the game reserve was best avoided. Another of her grandmother‟s rules was that Martine ride sedately at all times. „No faster than a trot and, in fact, I‟d rather you stuck to a walk,‟ she‟d counselled sternly. Martine had paid alm ost no attention. The way she saw it, Jemmy was a wild animal and it was only fair that he should have the freedom to do what came naturally, and if that meant tearing across the savannah at a giraffe‟s top speed of thirty - five kilometres per hour, well, t here wasn‟t a lot she could do about it. It wasn‟t as if she had reins to stop him. Besides, what was the point of riding a giraffe if the most he was permitted to do was plod along like some arthritic pony from the local stables? Jemmy clearly agreed. Th ey flew across the grassy plain with the spring breeze singing in Martine‟s ears. „Faster, Jemmy!‟ she yelled. „Run for your life.‟ And she laughed out loud at the heart - pounding thrill of it, of racing a wild giraffe. A streak of grey cut across her visi on, accompanied by a furious, nasal squeal: „Mmwheeeh!‟. Jemmy swerved. In the instant before her body parted company with the white giraffe‟s, Martine caught a glimpse of a warthog charging from its burrow, yellow tusks thrust forward. Had her arms not be en wrapped so tightly around the giraffe‟s neck, she would have crashed ten feet to the ground. As it was, she just sort of swung under his chest like a human necklace. There she dangled while Jemmy pranced skittishly and the warthog, intent on defending h er young, let out enraged squeals from below. Five baby warthogs milled around in bewilderment, spindly tails pointing heavenwards.

8 2016 - 201 The pain in Martine‟s arms was nearly unbearable, but she didn‟t let go. She adored warthogs – warts, rough skin, ugly ear s and all – but their Hollywood movie star eyelashes didn‟t fool her. In a blink of those lashes, their tusks could reduce her limbs to bloody ribbons. „Jemmy,‟ she said through gritted teeth, „walk on. Good boy.‟ Confused, the white giraffe started to l ower his neck as he backed away from the warthog. „No, Jemmy!‟ shrieked Martine as the warthog nipped at the toe of one of her boots. „Walk! Walk on!‟ Jemmy snatched his head up to evade the warthog‟s sharp tusks, and Martine was able to use the momentum to hook her legs around his neck. From there, she was able to haul herself onto his back and urge him into a sprint. Soon the warthog family was a grey blur in the distance, although the mother‟s grunts of triumph took longer to fade. Martine rode the re st of the way home at a gentle walk, a thoughtful smile on her lips. That would teach her to show off – even if it was only to an audience of hippos. At the game reserve gate, Jemmy dipped his head and Martine slid down his silvery neck as though she was s hooting down a waterslide. That, too, wasn‟t the safest way of dismounting, but it was fun. She gave the white giraffe a parting hug, and strolled through the mango trees to the thatched house.
