■ THE STORY


Antelope smelled the smoke first. Run! (Running sound):


Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te


Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te


Then lion smelled the smoke. Run!


Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te


Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te


Then cheetah and leopard and hyena, too. Run!


Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te


Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te


And Giraffe, Zebra, and Wildebeest. Run!


Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te


Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te


Baboon, Ape, and Orangutan. Run!


Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te


Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te


And the birds. Fly!


Flap-fl ap-fl ap – Flap-fl ap-fl ap


Flap-fl ap-fl ap – Flap-fl ap-fl ap


And they all gathered at the far side of the field at the edge


of the jungle. “Oh no!” they moaned. “Oh no!”


They watched the flames burning up the tall grass.


“Oh no!” they moaned. “Oh no!”


Then, just above their heads they heard a little whrrr.


They looked up. It was hummingbird. She was flying toward the fire!


“What are you doing?” they cried. “What are you doing?”


The animals watched as Hummingbird flew above the flames and


tipped its head spilling a little water onto the flames from its tiny beak.


Hummingbird flew back toward the animals, over their heads and quickly


down into a little spring and filled its beak again. They watched.


“What are you doing?” they cried. “What are you doing?”


She flew back across the burning field and once again emptied her little beak full of water onto the flames. She returned and dipped her beak in the pool again and flew back toward the field.


“What are you doing?” they cried. “What are you doing?”


Again and again, Hummingbird flew with her little beak full and dropped the


water on the flames and the animals asked,


“What are you doing?” They cried, “What are you doing?”


She stopped for a moment.


“What are you doing?” They cried, “What are you doing?”


She looked at the others, “I am doing what I can,” she said, “doing what I can.”


And then she sang:


I’m doing what I can


That’s all that I can do


To make this world a better place


For me and you.
