It is evening. Sarah and Nick are thinking about their dull day. Nothing happened, really... Well... Nick did stand on his hands, went for a swim and sat around for a bit – and Sarah caught a glimpse of a butterfly and went down a slide.

Nick took a rest on the nose of an enormous dragon and swam with colourful fish. And Sarah slid down an elephant’s trunk and saw the butterfly while she was standing among some really cuddly bears.
