Author: Ramya Nawaratne

Translator: Brian Kavanagh

“Why the rush?”

“Don’t you know why?”

“Didn't the eagle tell you?”

“We have a visitor!”

“Let's run to see the visitor!”

“Will the visitor be friends with us?”

“Should we give the visitor a gift?”

“Let’s find out who it is first!”

All the animals rush and push and knock each other down.

“Let’s go higher to see the visitor.”

All the animals gather

in the middle of the jungle.

The monkeys point at the new visitor.

“Look! Look!”

They all look at the new visitor and laugh loudly.

Cuddled up next to mother, the new visitor is drinking milk!
