"Munu, look at this goat-kid jumping in the field," says Chunu. "Look how joyful she is!"

"Chunu, look at these flowers blooming!" Munu says. "Look how they sway and smile and dance in the breeze."

"Like a bird I fly, Going up high in the sky!" calls Chunu.  "I'm playing with joy, jumping like a goat kid.

"Munu, come with me," Chunu calls. "Let's fly together. Let's sit on the flowers like butterflies. Let's sing!"

"Look, how the firefly dances!" Munu says."Look at the lamp it carries."

"Munu," Chunu asks. "What words should we use to sing a song about our mother?"

"Let's sing a song about our mother and father!" Munu answers. "Let's sing of them together!"

"Let's also sing about our friends! And our teachers!"

"And our village!

And our country!

Let's sing about

the land and our people!"

"We will sing a song about air, about rain and water. We will sing a song about the goats and the flowers."

"Let's dance, Munu."

"Let's sing a song, Chunu."

Hooray for nature!
