"No, Maka," the kids said.
Maka added, "All kinds of animals come together. For this one night, they are all friends."
The kids were silent, listening to Maka. "Tonight is the night that animals will come together. We must be ready to help them pick their king. Our village will come together just as the animals do. We will all work and play together."
