Walter, the weary world traveller, threw his suitcase onto the bed and kicked off his shoes. It was good to be home. He looked out of the window across to THE RIVER WHICH IS HOME TO THE LORELEI. He loved it here in his new apartment - Africa seemed a million miles away. Business was booming as well. The Global Positioning System for Wayward Migration Birds was a huge seller. He reached over to check his messages as he glanced at his new Cartier watch. Who would have believed that a THICK-SKINNED HORNED UNGULATE could have made the transition so seamlessly? His business card reflected his meteoric rise and announced his newly adopted address. It was gold and proudly introduced him as Walter the - .
2. Sam sat in his hotel room and caught his breath. It had been a long flight to the THIRD SMALLEST STATE IN EUROPE and his fine woollen coat was making him hot and bothered. He had been sent ahead to finalise the company's name change, but the local officials were being difficult. While they acknowledged that he was A SHEEP WITH LONG FINE WOOL, and represented the company product with flair, that wasn't the problem. They were not happy that the first part of their country's name had been omitted in the new title. They didn't seem to care that the new name offered better promotional opportunities for both their country and the company's wonderful wool product. Sam fumed. How could he convince these petty bureaucrats of the value of the name - ?
3. The PRINCIPAL RIVER OF WESTERN AFRICA had many moods. Today it was wild and grey as the rain fell and the wind whipped white tops on the water. Saul turned to his desk and reflected on his missionary work here in the darkest continent. It was a strange job for a LARGE ASIAN FLESH- EATING FELINE, but he found it rewarding. His fame had spread and many trekked for miles just to listen to one of his sermons. Indeed the inhabitants of the river villages were very devoted to their - .
4. Valentine strode proudly towards THE HILL OF JERUSALEM ON WHICH THE CITY OF DAVID WAS BUILT. He had won the election despite the fact that he was from out of town. All around him he could see his campaign banners. What a good-looking brute. A proud face stared back at him - he was a very handsome KING OF THE JUNGLE. The chanting had started again - it was time for his victory speech. As he stepped onto the platform, his campaign manager introduced him to the cheering masses as the newly elected - .
5. Alexandrina stepped onto the stage amidst tumultuous applause. The casino had upgraded her dressing room and her new contract was very generous indeed. She was glad to be back in this FORMER PORTUGUESE COLONY. The life of a leading showgirl was in her blood. No one could even remember where she came from. She was a BRIGHTLY COLOURED, LONG-TAILED SOUTH AMERICAN PARROT originally, but now she called this part of the world her home. She loved where she lived so much that it was part of her stage name. As the spotlight found her, the announcer called out her name - "Introducing our very own - ."
6. The REUNITED GERMAN CITY lay still and silent in the cold morning light. Kevin looked down once more at the list of codes and punched the password for the day into his laptop computer. He would remain in the city until the call came to move the double agent to a new bolt-hole in the countryside. He was relieved that his appearance did not draw much attention. It made his espionage work so much easier. He was after all only a SMALL EUROPEAN FALCON, and folks took little notice of his comings and goings. His code name reflected this. His controller simply referred to him as the - .
7. Bessie liked the CAPITAL OF MALAYSIA. It suited her style perfectly. Her fashion collection would be launched at the top of the Petronas Towers next week and she would be on her way. Not bad going for a TREE-DWELLING AUSTRALIAN MARSUPIAL. She tossed her head - trying to dispel memories of her common upbringing. Her mother always worried that she was far too pretentious. Well it was probably true. She had even used the city in which she now lived as part of the name of her fashion house. After much deliberation, she had dropped the second part - it made the whole thing sound too "lumpy".
She looked at the bright green eucalyptus leaf logo and traced the name embossed in gold - it read - .
8. Angus strode towards his plane as he sniffed the desert air. He liked living in this CITY IN ARIZONA, but he loved its Marine Corps Air Station more. Flying was his reason for being. While he had remained domiciled in his native continent, this WILD AMERICAN CAT had seen the world several times over. He reflected on his life as he checked the cockpit controls. He was now the leading training officer for all new recruits. Pilots came to him for their advanced training as well. He was the best. Command had even incorporated his name into their promotional material, which was highly unusual. A poster of his handsome whiskered face invited would-be pilots to "Come fly with the - ".
9. Well. The CAPITAL OF SWITZERLAND was certainly a wonderful diplomatic posting. Sir Tobias Winchester gazed out of his window at the beautiful city lights and fluffed his feathers a little. He quite liked it here. Odd for a MARINE BIRD to enjoy living in a land locked country, but there you have it. He might even considering retiring here. Quick flight to the Mediterranean now and then would be just the go! Why he could drop all this titled nonsense and sink into obscurity. Needed a bit of thought and planning, but he might be just as happy calling himself a plain old - .
10. Rosie stretched herself lazily on the warm sand. She loved the free and lazy beachside living in this INDIAN STATE. The blend of Indian and Western lifestyles suited her very nicely indeed. Oh rats! It was almost time for work. Actually, come to think of it rats were not such a bad idea. It was nearly time for lunch after all. She looked down at her long body and smiled. Not a bad way of life for a TROPICAL AMERICAN SNAKE. Goodness! Lunch would have to wait. She was now officially late for work. She grabbed her towel and sunglasses and slid across the road to the Tourist Hut. She loved this job. She was an official tourist hostess for this little corner of the world. She slithered behind her desk just before her boss arrived. Above her head was a row of awards and citations for Excellence in Tourism Practice. Rosie gazed lovingly at them. Printed neatly on each one were the words "Proudly awarded to the - ".
