Human Mission
On duty for urgent messages daily receives by phone dozens of various messages about the needs of representatives of the fabulous animal world. He calls completely different animals: from such huge as the Elephant, who urgently needed five or six poods of chocolate, to tiny Blues, who have very different, but also very important requests. All of them, Elephants, Crocodiles, Gazelles, Rabbits, Monkeys and other animals, need constant human care. That is why telegraph wires were extended and telephone booths were installed in every forest.

Answering phone calls is a very tedious task, and you need to have a truly angelic patience to not only listen to them without confusing anything, but also to have time to complete all orders on time. After all, the forest is a place where there are many different useful things, but the most necessary ones are always lacking. Here galoshes, for example, which are an exquisite delicacy for Crocodiles, do not grow on trees, and such a thing as gloves in any forest can not be found with fire during the day! And what, poor Crocodiles to sit hungry, and Rabbits to dig the ground in search of delicious roots unprotected feet? It is not far from an environmental disaster! Therefore, the duty on urgent messages is the most important responsible post.
