Lately the parents been hearing familiar screams and lions roaring from the nursery. The nursery won't change from the African Veldt . Petar and Wendy have been denying that they have have been playing in Africa and setting the African Veldt . When the family returns to the nursery it is no longer Africa ,George believes that Wendy and Petar changed the African Veldt to something else.
