Read together

Once upon a time, there was a group of friends who made a reservation to go on a camping trip. They planned to use symbols to help them find their way and receive messages from each other. However, they didn't know that the symbols they chose were used as slang by another group and were offensive.
As a result, they were victims of discrimination and became casualties in a hilarious mix-up. To avoid this in the future, they decided to come up with a new method of communication using only animal noises. And they all lived happily ever after, communicating with each other like the animals they are.
