You can hear the wings of birds flapping
while the sun is awaking
that the Rain Forest has begun a new day again
The monkeys are swinging to and fro
and the hippos are hungry as they go
The snakes are wanting something to eat
the ants and insects are scurrying on their feet
You walk on the Earth's soft soil
and the leaves crunch under you feet
you are on the lookout
to see anything that might be interesting
You see a moose in the river
making a loud noise
Nearby is a tiger
crouching and stalking very slow
A gorilla's footstep thunders the ground
you walk away quickly
hoping not to be found
You eat a earthworm and it's
not the best tasting thing
a sweet mango is hanging
on a tree near you
and you have the entire thing
You see most interesting things
more than anything you have ever seen
