Violet went to bed with her kittens and animal toys, and played with them so long that when she finally fell asleep she dreamt she was a jungle maid with animals for comrades. Some of them were friendly, but some were decidedly otherwise, and Violet had a narrow escape from a hungry tiger. An ostrich gives her a ride and one of his feathers for a souvenir, a bear visits her hut and tries to steal her doll, a lion scares her, and a baby elephant is a welcome playmate. She has a terrible adventure with a monkey, who pelts her with cocoanuts, but a Hottentot man saves her from the monkey and brings her presents of fruit to eat. Violet is quite sorry when she wakes and finds it all a dream.
