The city square buzzed with excitement as the sun rose high in the sky, casting a warm glow over the bustling streets. But amidst the cheerful chatter and the fluttering of flags, a sense of unease lingered in the air.

As the clock struck noon, the mayor of the city, a tall figure with a stern expression, made his way to the center of the square. His footsteps echoed against the cobblestones as he ascended the makeshift stage, his voice booming out across the gathered crowd.

– Good citizens of our fair city, – the mayor began, his tone somber and grave.

– I regret to inform you that today’s Independence Day celebrations have been canceled.

Gasps of disbelief rippled through the crowd as they exchanged worried glances, unsure of what had prompted such a drastic announcement.

The mayor’s gaze swept over the sea of faces before him, his expression grave.

– It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that our beloved flag – the symbol of our nation’s freedom and unity – has been desecrated.

Murmurs of shock and disbelief filled the square as the crowd struggled to comprehend the mayor’s words. Whispers of – impossible- and – unthinkable- floated through the air as they searched for answers.

And then, like a thunderclap in the midst of a storm, the mayor’s next words rang out, sending a chill down the spines of all who heard them. – It was Shelby’s capybara, – he declared, his voice tinged with a mixture of anger and frustration. – She has eaten the main flag.-

A collective gasp rose from the crowd as they turned to see Shelby, the innocent culprit of their ruined celebrations, standing sheepishly at the edge of the square. Her furry cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she shuffled her feet, unable to meet the accusing stares of the townspeople.

The mayor’s proclamation hung heavy in the air as the reality of the situation sunk in. Independence Day, a day meant for joy and celebration, had been marred by one simple mistake. And as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the silent square, the people of the city were left to ponder the consequences of Shelby’s unwitting actions.
