Post by bunniefuu »

wake up

a new day is dawning there's beauty and

happiness

everywhere

jump up

destiny's calling you and your friends

have so much to share

swinging through life on this great

adventure the spirit of nature will see

you through there are lessons to learn

about life and its mysteries lessons of

love that are waiting for you

look up

there's joy all around you nature is

wondrous but beware the law of the

jungle has a lesson for life

but you can still soar right up to the

sky hold your head up high

keep your courage inside

then sure as the sun and the stars up

above

you will discover

love

the dolls are coming and there's nothing

we can do

listen

listen everybody

trouble trouble on its way

the jungle's about to be invaded run for

your lives

invaded by what chill bagheera it's

terrible if we don't leave at once every

creature here could be wiped out

nonsense nothing could do that oh yes

they could too

in no time i've seen those dolls they're

vicious what dolls oh yes of course

dolls what do you think i've been trying

to tell you where's mowgli i must warn

the wolves dolls

chill is right those brutes could mean

big trouble

what was that trouble did you say

honestly didn't you hear chill we're

about to be invaded by dolls

dolls what'll we do

oh what a shot hunt with your knife and

no game stands a chance but humans are

smart they think of all kinds of

powerful tricks now don't they uh-huh

i guess the only trouble is you have to

be so careful when you use one be

careless and you could have an accident

see that branch

mowgli

mowgli have you heard have i heard heard

what bagheera

chill is raising the alarm goals are

coming what

yes it seems they're headed straight for

us

oh no

you've seen those lawless wild dogs

they'll rip through here hunting down

anyone in their path chill has warned

the wolves they'll be assembling now to

plan our defense

there's the signal on your way mowgli

right bagheera

i hope the wolves come up with something

fast those doles are ruthless ruthless

fearless and cunning bagheera it could

be that even the wolves will be

outmatched all the jungles warriors will

be needed if we're to hold off those

dreadful savages yes you're right i must

volunteer my services at once um well

done megura

well done what am i waiting for

i checked and double checked there's no

doubt about it they're moving north as

you know their usual hunting ground is

the deccan plane but that has changed

now

the drought that struck the entire

region to our south is driving them

north they're starving chill

how many are there

from the air it's hard to say exactly

i'd say at the very least a hundred that

means that's unheard of i've never seen

a pack more than a dozen we've no chance

at all they'll overrun the jungle in no

time that's enough quiet please

this is an emergency of the most serious

nature some younger members of the pack

may not understand why never having seen

the dolls they are wild dogs who roam in

packs hunting down any unfortunate

creature who crosses their path

they obey no law the jungle and it is

said they can ravage a hunting ground so

thoroughly even the grass and trees

perish

even to call them a pack would be false

for they possess no spirit of

cooperation as we do no sense of right

or wrong

they fall on their prey without thinking

following no leader not caring if they

take more than they can eat

not caring if they wipe out all the game

on a hunting

ground they hunt for the thrill of the

sport and are a threat to every living

thing within their reach a pack of a

hundred is nothing less than a whirlwind

of doom

we will need all our ingenuity and the

help of all our allies in the jungle to

survive this invasion

we must fight or we must hide somewhere

safe till they pass we must choose how

to face this crisis whichever we choose

the survival of all the creatures of the

sea any jungle must be our main goal

there's no choice at all we stand and

fight for our hunting ground fight to

the last yes of course run and hide what

kind of wolf could do that not i never

we fight for the honor of the pack do we

there's no honor in being foolish we're

outnumbered no one will make me hide

and if we lose our navels will pay with

their lives let them hide and then you

can hide with them if you like why don't

you go now watch your tongue you dare

brand me a coward you won't live to

fight anyone stop that we'll have no

fighting stop that i said i'm talk of

honor let's see how long you last make

your move if you had the nerve a nerve

you won't

stop it now time is running out listen

to your leadership

we must keep our heads or we're lost we

are vastly outnumbered by the doles we

must consider that

but i know that none of us wants to

simply run and hide therefore we must

try to devise a strategy that will even

the odds against the doles find a way to

gain the advantage over them

but i want no more arguing amongst

ourselves is that understood now let's

seek the council of one whose wisdom is

legendary

achaela we call upon your experience and

leadership to help guide us lurie i'm

old you are the leader of the pact now

you have no need of me

form a plan if all agree then that's

what we'll do i have absolute faith in

your judgment achaela thank you for your

words of support but i ask again you

must have fought the doles in your years

of experience what should we do in your

opinion

well

there's no reasoning with the dolls

usually they run in packs of just 10 or

so thank heaven but now in this time of

drought on the plane they've banded

together it can well be that to avoid

senseless sacrifice it would be best to

lie low until the danger is passed

you know when i was just a young cub we

were invaded by the doles and we were

outnumbered just as we are today we

stood and fought as bravely as only

wolves can but it was no use we suffered

great losses and barely escaped being

wiped out completely that's the sort of

ferocious brutes we're up against

but that said i must also point out our

pack was far more outnumbered then than

we are now

and we've learned a lot since in a

strategy of w*r if the decision were

mine i'd say fight them

fight with our wits and we can win and

once defeated the dolls won't dare

return again

the risk is great but i think worthy

plan well and victory is ours mckenna

says fight i fight yes we fight

yes

it looks like we're in for quite a fight

judging from the sound of it it

certainly does

i was surprised i didn't think a kayla

would go that far he's a warrior but a

wise one he wouldn't be advising this

unless he thought we had a chance no i

guess you're right of course

everyone akala has spoken he advises

that we fight i say yes we fight

yes we will fight for the honor of the

pack and we will make this cna jungle

safe for all who dwell here now and

forever

but to succeed we must work together we

cannot fight without order duty and

discipline you must obey my commands

you must rely on the wisdom of our wise

old wolf and the battle plan we devise

all that considered

are you prepared to follow me now on to

victory

then fight we will and may fortune smile

on our cause

wear yours

for the cne pack in the jungle

the decision has been made we will fight

the dolls

now we need a battle plan and for that i

have chosen you as my council of w*r

no doubt you've noticed that you are all

young well this is no accident i am a

new leader and i thought it was to think

to the future to surround myself with

the bravest and brightest of your

generation so that you may gain

experience in planning for the field of

battle

while i benefit from the support of an

inner circle whose loyalty i can count

on some of the old wolves miss akala

i don't blame them but i am leader now

and i need the unwavering loyalty i know

i will get from all of you

so

do you all accept your new positions

fine then accrue your task will be to

round up the rest of our younger wolves

and train them so they're ready for

battle

you will have to work fast there isn't

much time

surah you'll be my head scout track the

enemy's progress and report back to me

stay close to the river i'm convinced

they'll follow the wayangunga north

before crossing into the sea any jungle

lala you will gather the mothers and

their young and lead them to a safe

place out of our way they would only

slow us down if we're forced to change

our position quickly

now mowgli i want you to go find carr

and tell him our situation see if he has

some useful advice to offer us look for

car

yes carr has lived here even longer than

a kayla i'm sure he'll have something of

value to contribute now off you go i

want him found as soon as possible right

carl where are you

it's me

mowgli are you here

carl

what on earth no

so it's you what did you kick me for ah

there you are i looked all over for you

and to what do i owe the honor of all

this attention may i ask attention i

might add that just scared my game away

sorry i wasn't looking where i was going

i was looking over here

but why were you looking for me oh

because we need your advice oh my advice

yes

it's urgent larry said me especially we

have to talk laurie sent you did she

well we must talk then if the new leader

of the pack sent you cars at your

disposal mowgli my boy what's going on

big trouble

chill came to warn us today that

if you're going to tell me the whole

story you'd better get comfortable

oh

now start at the beginning and don't

leave anything out

if they for the river here where it's

shallow this could be where we'll have

to be ready to make our stand sora

with any luck you won't have to hide for

long as soon as they're gone you can

come back

next

ah next

ah the dolls well well and you're all

getting organized to fight them i see

well this is an emergency yes it is will

you help us call we need your experience

carl waits what are you doing

i'm trying to remember it was so long

ago

yes a pack of wild dogs passed through

like the dolls they thought they could

do with our creatures as they pleased

if i could just remember how they

destroyed themselves they destroyed

themselves oh please think hardcore

you must remember

ah you remember didn't you

i did

but rather than tell you about it i'll

show you how it happened

mowgli you'd better hold on we're going

for a ride down river hey

bye

i've never seen this place it's spooky

where are we caught

dark valley dark valley

there

now look around

what do you see on the rock face behind

you hmm

oh bees

there are millions of them

yes

when they swarm here all the jungle

creatures who know of them steer clear

of here

those tiny bees are deadly

look over there

those are last year's victims the ones

who didn't know better

oh

somo you want to know how those wild

dogs sealed their own fate let me tell

you the dogs were chasing some of our

deer upstream

the deer didn't know about the bees and

fled here but found themselves trapped

up there at the top of the cliff oh

they had no choice they left from the

cliff to escape the wild dogs

the chase knocked stones down onto the

swarming bees assuming their nests were

being attacked they attacked two

they wheeled and gathered then fell upon

the wild dogs

many dogs leapt into the river but even

so most of them didn't withstand the

bees as*ault only a handful survived

ah but not so the deer they escaped

unharmed hmm but why because when they

jumped into the river the beast didn't

know they were there yet you see by the

time the bees sensed danger

the deer were already in the river as

they swam off the wild dogs were left to

face the full fury of the bees yes of

course i see what do you think mowgli

could you lure those lawless dolls down

here to dark valley needless to say once

you've jumped into the river i'll be

right here to whisk you away to safety

yes of course i can anyway i'm pretty

sure i can but i'll give it everything

i've got just leave the dolls to me car

yes it's a brilliant idea once the dolls

are after me all i have to do is find a

way to rouse the bees then zip i'm into

the river i'll get you out of the way

and any dolls who make it to the river

will be swept downstream

even if they make it past the rocks the

first chance they'll have to reach shore

will be down at the ford nearest your

lair and if i know lurie she'll be ready

she'll have a main pack stationed there

poised to strike they'll leap out

and take care of any stragglers they see

it's a wonderful plan call wonderful

we'll teach those dolls to tangle with

us oh thank you carl

you're a genius easy child it hasn't

worked yet but i must admit your chances

look brighter now than before you came

to me now

let's be going before we wake those bees

they don't like company oh right attaboy

your turn

all right now

good good now you're getting it who's

next

a child is learning

in nature's special way he's

beginning to see

all the beauty in this world today

his eyes are gleaming

at every sight and sound with

in no scent hearts

he feels that love is all around

but this world can be confusing

and learning can be hard

when lessons that you often learn

mean danger looks beneath the stars so

take good care of nature's friends and

they'll take good care of you then we

can all live

together as one

a child

you
