But one day cruel hunters trap Pangolina, putting her into a cage along with her friends, and bring them to a market to be sold as wild game. Pangolina is especially vulnerable, since her scales are prized by humans who believe they have curative powers. To the rescue comes a small girl who knows that pangolins are friendly fellow creatures who have feelings too, and who convinces her mother to buy Pangolina and set her free.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snippet:<\/strong> Once I was startled when a large creature &#8212; a bit like a fox with wings &#8212; flew low over us.
