Puppy was sleeping. Now he's awake!

Chirp chirp chirp…

Screech screech screech…

Chirp screech chirp screech...

"Where is that sound coming from?" asks Puppy.

“Baby Elephant, Baby Elephant, you're screeching so loud!” says Puppy.

“It’s not me. I don’t screech,” answers Baby Elephant.

“Porcupine, Porcupine, you're screeching so loud!” says Puppy.

“It’s not me. I can’t screech,” answers Porcupine.

“Woodpecker, Woodpecker, you're screeching so loud!”  says Puppy.

“It’s not me.  I can’t screech,” answers Woodpecker.

“Hornbills, Hornbills, you're screeching so loud!”

“It’s not us. We can’t screech,” answer the Hornbills.

“Hummingbirds, hummingbirds, you're screeching so loud!”

“It’s not us. We can’t screech,” answer the Hummingbirds.

“Baby Monkeys, Baby Monkeys, you're screeching so loud!” says Puppy.

“It’s not us. Who is it? Let’s find out!” answer the Baby Monkeys.

“We are Crickets, we are Crickets, we chirp-screech!

We rub our wings together to make the chirp-screech noise at night.”

Oh! It's the crickets!
