But Elissa would not give up, and eventually, she would manage to sidle up to Bobo without him running off (or noticing her). When she looked closer at whatever it was that he had held on to for so long, she was amazed to see that it was not a thing, but an animal!

As soon as Bobo realized that Elissa was peering over his shoulder, however, he bolted off into the tall grass once more. He was not going to let anyone get in the way of his mission and seemed incredibly protective of his new friend.
