Charging Rhino

"Harry, get back into the jeep. You're not supposed to leave the vehicle during an African safari!"

"Aw shucks, Ellen. They're just animals."

Mbatu the safari guide spoke up, "Mr. Smith, please come back. There's a rhinoceros charging you!"

"That's not a problem. It just wants to play."

"Mr. Smith, I can assure you that the rhino does not want to 'play.'"

Mbatu and Ellen averted their eyes to save themselves from the impending impact, but no 'splat' sound came, just a strange deep purring.

"See!" shouted Harry, "He just wants his tummy scratched! Who's a good boy? Yes, you are!"
