DANGER
Listen, there’s danger, danger in the air.
Listen, there’s danger coming so beware
Of danger in the air.
Listen, a stranger, hiding in the lair.
Listen, a stranger, lurking over there,
A stranger in the lair
Small group: Hatari, hadhari, hatari
Better find a place to hide,
Keep away from the trouble,
Better watch out for your hide,
Disappear on the double.
Storyteller 14: Most of the animals followed their instincts and hid deep within the jungle.
Storyteller 15: But the lion, who was too proud to show fear, chose to sleep out in the open.
Better find a place to hide,
Keep away from the trouble,
Better go back to the pride,
Disappear on the double.
Listen, listen, listen.

MAKING A FRIEND
Panya: I did it!
Maliki: You did it.
Panya, Well, I made a promise, didn’t I?
Maliki: Yes, I suppose you did.

But I lent a helping hand.
Made a promise, made a vow,
That I’d help you out somehow.
All: No matter where, no matter when,
Keeping a promise helps to make a friend.
No matter why, or what, or who,
Doing a favor makes a friend of you.
Maliki: I am mighty, you are small,
But you took me by the paw.
Had a shadow of a doubt,
But you came and helped me out.
All: No matter where, no matter when,
Keeping a promise helps to make a friend.
No matter why, or what, or who,
