Plot: A series of typical Avery spot gags set around wild animals. A dainty deer drinks very loudly and rudely from a lake. A pack rat swaps an egg and an acorn, then back again ("monotonous, isn't it?"). A flock of ducks lands; a hunter fires; all fly away, except one with an American flag on its side. A termite fells a huge tree. A cowboy rides across the plains well, no; his horse is just slapping itself with the front hooves. A coyote calls to its mate: "Hey, Mabel, come on out!" A camel contradicts the narrator, saying he's really thirsty. A wild dog: because of the lumbermen.

With pretty peppered wings
And green across my throat
Or maybe it’s more
Like emerald from the sea
Caught in a storm
Wings tired and torn
I sheltered in a tree
And everything did dance
As if the world was mad
Then came a groan
Like tendons and bones
Were torn and cracked and split
The tallest of them all
The river caught its fall
He was a man
With heavy gentle hands
He used to feed me grains
Pecking from his palm
He'd fill my head with praise
Then like a grub
Becomes beautiful
He disappeared and then
Came back as a bear
Oh, I never saw
Magic before
I know I will again
But until then
I'll wait my one
Until the day you come
Now he’s a fish
And I can't be with
Him so I'll wait instead
Where the river ends
I know that we’ll meet there
So now all I do
Is wait here for you
At this great oceans edge
I know that you’ll be
A bird the next time
