Little Red's Happy Forest Song

Little Red is very happy. She wears a red hood. She has curly brown hair. She has pretty tan skin. She wears a yellow dress. She wears white socks. She wears brown shoes. Little Red walks today. She walks in the forest. The forest is very big. The forest is very green. The sun is very bright. The sky is very blue. Little Red loves the trees. Little Red loves the forest. She walks on the path. She sees a blue flower. It is a pretty flower. She sees a pink flower. It is a sweet flower. She sees a purple flower. It is a small flower. Little Red wants a flower. She wants to pick one. She reaches for the blue. She reaches for the pink.

Wait! Little Red stops her hand. She looks at the flower. A blue butterfly lands there. The butterfly is very happy. The flower is his bed. The flower is his home. Little Red smiles at him. 'I will not pick it,' she says. 'The flower stays here.' She looks at the pink. A yellow bee lands there. The bee is very busy. The flower is his food. The flower is his home. Little Red smiles at him. 'I will not pick it,' she says. 'The flower stays here.' Little Red loves the nature. She respects the forest home. She leaves the flowers alone. She lets the flowers grow. She lets the flowers live. This makes the forest happy. This makes Little Red happy.

Little Red sees a friend. It is the blue butterfly. 'Hello, butterfly!' says Little Red. 'How are you today?' The butterfly flaps his wings. 'I am very good,' says the butterfly. Little Red sees a bee. It is the yellow bee. 'Hello, bee!' says Little Red. 'How are you today?' The bee makes a buzz. 'I am very good,' says the bee. Little Red sees a bunny. The bunny is very white. The bunny is very soft. 'Hello, bunny!' says Little Red. 'How are you today?' The bunny hops very high. 'I am very good,' says the bunny. Little Red sees a monkey. The monkey is very brown. The monkey is very silly. 'Hello, monkey!' says Little Red. 'How are you today?' The monkey swings a tail. 'I am very good,' says the monkey.

All the friends are here. They are in the forest. They are in the sun. Little Red has an idea. It is a fun idea. It is a kind idea. 'Let us play,' says Red. 'Let us make a circle.' The butterfly flies to Red. The bee buzzes to Red. The bunny hops to Red. The monkey swings to Red. They stand in a ring. They stand on the grass. The grass is very soft. The grass is very cool. They hold hands and paws. They make a big circle. They make a happy round.

'Let us sing,' says Red. 'Let us sing a song.' Little Red starts the song. Her voice is very sweet. The butterfly hums the song. The bee buzzes the song. The bunny thumps the song. The monkey claps the song. They sing about the sun. They sing about the trees. They sing about the forest. They sing about being kind. They sing about the flowers. 'We love the green trees. We love the blue sky. We love the pretty flowers. We do not pick them. We let them grow tall. We are all friends here.'

They dance in the circle. They go round and round. They go fast and slow. They jump up and down. They are very happy friends. The forest is very quiet. The forest listens to song. The trees wave their leaves. The wind blows very soft. Little Red feels very good. She loves her animal friends. She loves her forest home. She is a kind girl. She is a good friend.

Now the song is done. Now the dance is done. The sun is going down. The sky is getting orange. 'Goodbye, butterfly,' says Little Red. 'Goodbye, bee,' says Little Red. 'Goodbye, bunny,' says Little Red. 'Goodbye, monkey,' says Little Red. The friends all wave goodbye. They go to their homes. They go to their beds. Little Red walks home too. She walks on the path. She sees the blue flower. It is still there. She sees the pink flower. It is still there. She is glad she stayed. She is glad they grow. Little Red is very happy. She had a good day. She is a kind friend. She loves the beautiful forest. Goodnight, happy forest. Goodnight, happy friends.
