Chapter 2 - An unpleasant shower (4)

The Band inaugurating

BINDU

Are we going to have a flood?

ELPHI

No need to worry, children. It takes much more water to originate a flood.

MAKI

But it is raining so much!!

ELPHI

Have no fear... But be prepared!

MONKITO

How? You can not control rain.

ELPHI

Certainly not! But you can be ready to react under any dangerous situation. That's what I will teach you.

MONKITO

Is this another subject? Wih exams?

ELPHI

No. The only exam that you have to pass is life, which is full of beautiful things, but also some sad ones.

MAKI

Like the tsunami.

ELPHI

Yes, but the tsunami is an extreme disaster. Something that very rarely happens, perhaps every 100 years. But there are other things… Who can tell me about sad things in your life?

BINDU

When my younger brother was sick.

MAKI

When my little cat disappeared.

MONKITO

The fire in the kitchen of my house…

ELPHI

What to do when we're afraid or sad?

MAKI

We sing!

ELPHI

Precisely! And that's what we are going to do right now!

ALL

Our favorite song!

ELPHI

That's right! Remember to sing when things go wrong. And more important: be always ready!
