Maya, though stunned, felt a strange sense of calm. "You... can talk?" she asked.
The giraffe chuckled. "Of course. We're here to teach and protect. Your baby will grow up with stories and lessons inspired by the savanna."
"Like what?" Maya asked, her curiosity overtaking her disbelief.
The lioness padded closer, her cubs playfully trailing behind. "I'll teach courage," she said. "Your child will learn that bravery isn't about fearlessness but about facing challenges with heart."
The elephant trumpeted softly. "I will teach wisdom. Life can be a maze, but I'll show your child how to find the path with patience and intelligence."
The giraffe nodded, lowering its long neck. "And I'll teach perspective. From where I stand, I see far and wide. Your child will learn to see the bigger picture, to look beyond the surface."
A rustle came from the painted bushes, and a cheetah leapt into view. "I'll teach speed and focus," it said. "In a fast world, staying sharp and purposeful will be vital."
