Thank you so much for your time.THE STORY OF ATLANTADAISY WLDLIFE Daisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed. Where do you want to go? it asked. Daisy responded immediately. I39。t know that. I wonder what is being done to help you.
