Lulu scowled at Prince Olaf, who was offering the bread rolls to her mother politely, and wished more than anything that her friends, Princesses Emily, Clarabel and Jaminta, had come to stay instead. She knew they’d love Undala, with its huge grasslands filled with wild animals. She sighed wistfully, just as a horn tooted loudly outside the window.
“That’s Walter! He must be ready to leave,” she cried, racing out of the hall and down the front steps.
“Slow down, Lulu! Must you rush everywhere?” the queen called after her.
Lulu jumped into the truck next to Walter, who smiled at her. “Let’s go!” she cried.
They zoomed away between the tall palace gates, with the red earth flying beneath their wheels.
