June: Art... African masks.

Annie: And music...

["The Moldau" playing]

Leo: "The Moldau", written by Bedrich Smetana.

The scene starts at Ivory Coast in Africa for the next day of the Safari.

Annie: ♪Hi, hi, hi!♪♪ I'm Annie. And guess what? My friends and I are in Africa's Ivory Coast! We're on a Safari to find cute, little baby animals! Do you think Baby Animals are cute? Me too!

[Violin playing]

June: I hear something.

Leo: Oh, look! It's a baby zebra out for a walk with her daddy. They're talking to each other.

June: Aw, how adorable. They sound so happy.

[Music playing]

Annie: I hear more happy animals.

Leo: It's that baby elephant talking to its mommy and daddy. He's splashing around in the water.

Annie: He sounds like he's having fun.

[Violin playing "The Moldau"]

Quincy: I hear another animal. But he doesn't sound very happy.

June: Yeah. I think he sounds sad.

Annie: It's coming from that tree. Do you see an animal in that tree? Oh, yeah! It's a cute little baby chimp. And he's all alone.

[Baby Chimp singing "The Moldau"]

Leo: He's saying something.

Quincy: I don't understand what he's saying.

June: Neither do I.

Leo: We can't help the baby chimp if we don't know what he's saying.

Annie: I know what he's saying!

Quincy: You do?

Annie: Yeah! Baby chimp doesn't talk with words like us. He talks with song. That's how he tells people how he's feeling.

June: Wow, Annie. So what's he saying?

Annie: He's saying: "♪I'm lost and I am looking for mom and dad.♪"

Leo: Whoa!

June: That's amazing.

Quincy: Annie knows what the baby chimp is saying!

Leo: Try talking to him, Annie.

Annie: ♪Hello, Baby Chimp.♪

[Baby Chimp jingling]

June: He knows what you're saying, Annie.

Annie: Baby chimp is really sad. He misses his mom and dad.

Leo: Annie, will you tell baby chimp that we want to help him?

Annie: Sure. ♪Oh, we want to help you.♪

♪Oh, we want to help you.♪

♪To help, you, we'll help.♪

All except Leo: Seatbelts buckled!

Leo: Prepare for blast off!

Leo: We need to give Rocket a lot of power.

[Cellos playing]

Leo: Let's listen to see if we can hear his mom and dad calling back to him. Rocket, put out your look and listen scope.

[Scope beeping]

Leo: Do you hear Baby Chimp's mom and dad? Yes! There they are. Baby Chimp's mom and dad are in the Comoe National Forest.

June: What are they saying, Annie?

Annie: They're saying: "♪We hear you, our baby chimp, oh, don't feel so sad.♪"

Quincy: Ooh, Baby Chimp really wants to find his mom and dad.

Annie: Let's go find them!

Leo: Down there, Rocket.

Quincy: Wow.

Quincy: The Comoe National Forest is so big and full of trees.

June: How are we going to find Baby Chimp's mom and dad?

Leo: I wish we could ask someone for directions.

[Violin playing]

Leo: What's he doing, Annie?

Annie: Baby Chimp is talking to the trees.

Annie: He's asking the trees if they know which way his mom and dad went.

Quincy: Look.

Quincy: The trees want to help Baby Chimp.

Annie: Yeah.

Annie: They're saying: ♪We know the way, we'll show you where to go!♪

Annie: ♪Just swing.♪

Annie: ♪Swing on our branches now.♪♪

Leo: They want Baby Chimp to swing on their branches.

Quincy: That'll bring Baby Chimp closer to his mom and dad.

Annie: Baby Chimp's having trouble swinging on all those big branches.

Annie: He needs our help.

June: I have a plan.

June: I can show baby chimp how to grab the branches to the beat.

June: Reach, reach, reach.

June: Will you help baby chimp grab the branches to the beat?

June: Great!

June: First reach one hand to grab a branch, then the other hand and grab the next branch.

June: Reach, reach, reach, reach, reach, reach, reach, reach.

June: It's working.

June: More branches.

June: Keep reaching.

June: Reach, reach, reach, reach.

Quincy: But look!

Quincy: The branches up ahead are even higher.

Annie: Now let's listen.

[Cello playing]

Annie: Do you hear Baby Chimp's mom and dad?

Annie: Yes!

Annie: I hear them.

Quincy: They sound louder.

Leo: We must be getting closer.

Leo: This way!

Leo: Bye, trees!

Leo: Thank you!

Leo: You guys, look there the trees led us. It's a giant rope bridge.

Quincy: Whoa!

Annie: Baby Chimp's mom and dad must be this way.

[Masks thumping]

Leo: Uh-oh!

June: Those three big masks are blocking the bridge!

Annie: They won't let Baby Chimp cross!

[Masks jingling]

Leo: What are they saying, Annie?

[Music playing]

Annie: They're telling us that they're feelings masks.

Quincy: Ooh. Feeling masks. The only way to get past a feelings masks is to guess how it's feeling. Come on. Let's try it.

[He goes up to the first mask]

Quincy: Hmm. How does this mask look to you? Does it look happy or sad? It looks sad. Yeah. Let's use music to tell the mask he feels sad. I'm going to need you to play your flute with me. Hold your flute up next to your mouth and wiggle your fingers.

[Flute playing sadly]

Quincy: That's it. Play your flute sadly to the sad mask.

[Playing sad music on flute]

Quincy: Yeah. Keep playing your flute sadly.

[Sad music continues]

[Mask rises]

Leo: You did it!

June and Annie: Yay!

Quincy: We played a sad song to the sad mask and he let us go by.

[He goes to the next mask]

Quincy: Let's try the second mask. Does this mask look surprised or angry? Surprised. Yes! Now, let's use our flute to sound surprised. Play a surprised song.

[Flute playing surprisingly]

Quincy: Even more surprised.

[Playing surprised music on flute]

[Mask rises]

[Baby Chimp cheering]

Annie: Whoo-hoo!

June: Excellent.

Leo: You're doing great!

[He goes to the last mask]

Quincy: How is the last mask feeling? Happy! So let's play him a happy song on our flute. Play your flute happily.

[Flute playing happily]

Quincy: Even happier!

[Playing happy music on flute]

[Mask rises]

Quincy: We did it! The last mask let us pass! Great job playing the feeling masks game with me.

Annie: Come on, Baby Chimp.

Annie: Let's sing to your mom and dad.

Annie: I'm lost and I am looking for my mom and dad.

Annie: Do you hear baby chimp's mom and dad?

Annie: Yeah.

Annie: We're getting closer.

Annie: This way.

June: Uh-oh.

June: There are two paths.

Quincy: And we don't know which way to go.

Leo: Let's use my binoculars.

Leo: Down this path, I see lots of bouncy, bouncy gazelles.

Leo: And down this path, I see a long, smooth river.

Annie: But which path goes the right way?

Annie: Listen.

Annie: Baby Chimp is trying to tell us something.

June: What's he saying, Annie?

Annie: He's saying that we should take the path that sounds like this song.

Leo: Let's listen.

Leo: Does Baby Chimp's song sound like these bouncing gazelles?

Leo: No.

Leo: Does Baby Chimp's song sound like the smooth Comoe River?

Leo: Yes!

Leo: His song sounds like the river.

Leo: His mommy and daddy are by the Comoe River.

June: Baby Chimp can't wait to find his mom and dad.

Leo: Come on, team.

Leo: To Rocket!

Leo: To get to the river quickly, we're going to have to fly Rocket as fast as he can go. Super Fast!

Leo: Will you help me fly Rocket super fast?

Leo: Great!

Leo: Super fast!

All except Leo: Super fast!

Leo: To get to super fast, we have to start at adagio. Pat the beat on your lap slowly.

Leo: Moderato, now pat the beat on your tummy a little faster.

Leo: Allegro, now pat the beat on your shoulder even faster.

Leo: Presto! Now reach your arms to the sky and shake your whole body!

Leo: We did it! We're flying super fast!!

June: Look down there.

Quincy: I see the river.

Leo: Rocket, transform!

Quincy: Way to go, Rocket.

Quincy: Annie, what is baby chimp saying?

Annie: He's saying that he's worried.

Annie: There's trouble up ahead.

Annie: What is it, Baby Chimp?

Annie: What kind of big trouble is up ahead?

Annie: He's telling us that something up ahead that goes ♪down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down.♪

Annie: Do you see something up ahead that goes ♪down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down.♪?

Annie: Yes!

Annie: It's that waterfall.

All: A waterfall?!

Quincy: Oh, no!

Leo: Rocket, transform.

Annie: We have to help Rocket fly, down, down, down, down, down, down the waterfall.
