Getting some cake

“I do believe it is time for cake.” The green giraffe said. “I concur.” the furry hippo replied.

“Ok, I’ll go get some.” Angelo offered and jumped off the roof.

“Hello, where exactly am I? And how long have I been here?” Angelo asked, perplexed. Might as well try to get my bearings.
