When Elias finally arrived, Ali was reciting the rules in case she got lost, in front of the drone camera.
"Stand still and stay put so that your mama and papa can find you where you were separated.
Ask for help from a human or beast woman with children.
Memorize your mama and papa's phone number everyday.
If you see a law enforcement officer you can ask for help.
If the help center is close, you can go there and ask for help.
If you have an emergency whistle or button, blow it or push it."
Elias stopped and watched his daughter repeating the rules again, rhyming them like a song she had learned in her sleep.
Behind him, Timothy said, "The lady is actually wiser than we all thought. Around eighty cubs go missing a year in this city alone. All over the continent, the number climbs to thousands. It would not hurt cubs and their parents to learn these rules instead of panicking and running around blindly."
