Chapter 17
The group, still cheerful from their time at the café, began moving again to continue exploring. As the visit came to an end, they made one last stop at the souvenir shop.
The store sold all kinds of zoo-related memorabilia.
Animal ears, acrylic keychains, animal masks, plush toys, and even a few snacks.
The kids’ eyes sparkled as they roamed through the shop.
“Look at this! Don’t I look like a beastkin with these animal ears on?”
“Pfft, what even is that?”
“This mask looks so ridiculous.”
They took their time looking through everything, trying to decide what to buy, and didn’t forget to pick something out for Rene at the orphanage.
“What do you think Teacher would like?”
“A plushie? Or maybe this little sculpture?”
“Wouldn’t snacks be better?”
“Not everyone’s like you!”
