Ahhh.
As the MOON rises we see Monkeys In The Moonlight DANCING in the grass. GO! STOP! Little Grey Mouse runs across the floor dancing to this TECHNO track and slips out the door - yikes!!! Ever wonder what a Camel sounds like? The BOUZOUKI, an Egyptian Lute, will leave you MESMERIZED by the sounds of the DESERT LAND.Off we go to WEST AFRICA where the Great Grey Elephant sways to the DRUMS and the MAGIC of the BALLAPHONE - one of the GREATEST SOUNDS ever heard.
DANCER of the WAVES and FRIEND of LIFE - fly with the Dolphins through the sea. From the FOREST to the DESERT to the OCEAN deep, the Hummingbird brings us back to the Campfire, under the stars, SAFE in the NIGHT surrounded by the TREES, the ROCKS, and our FRIENDS and FAMILY all cozy and warm.
