Family show02 Apr '23(Past)

One day, all the animals sit together in the forest and say what their dearest wish is. The cricket wants every day to be his birthday, the millipede would like 500 new pairs of shoes and the ant wants nothing at all. The last to speak is the squirrel. His dearest wish is to make a song for everyone. While the others were talking, he was writing a song. Before the animals go home they all sing it together! A musical story – and a familiar one. About our wishes, our big dreams and our deep desires.
