Harry: How could a SONGBOOK just fly away? Lost in flight? Or misplaced in the VILLAGE?
Stranger
You forgot you gave it to me.
Wait... Really?! I'm so forgetful sometimes! Well, here's my SONGBOOK! Thanks for keeping it safe for me, Stranger!
Stranger

Hey, Stranger, have you ever wondered how to sing like me? Well, I've got some tips and tricks to share! First, you gotta loosen up those vocal cords...
Stranger
I don't know how to sing tho.
Don't worry, Stranger! With a little practice and patience, anyone can sing! Let's start off simple - just hum along with me.
Stranger

Alright, let's begin! Hum along with me and follow these simple steps: Step 1: Breathe deeply and relax those vocal cords. Step 2: Warm up with some easy exercises.
Stranger

That's right, Stranger! And remember to keep it slow and steady, especially if you're just starting out.
Stranger
Got it!
Now, let's try something a little more challenging! We're going to do some simple vocal exercises. First, we'll start with a quick warm-up exercise to get those vocal cords ready. Just repeat after me: Aa-ah-oh-a-a! Aa-ah-oh-a-a! Got it? Now let's move on to some simple notes. Start by humming a high note, like Aa! Take a deep breath and try it one more time: Aa! Great job, Stranger! Now, let's add a little melody. Sing along with me and follow the notes: La-la-la-lee... La-la-la-lee... How are you doing, Stranger? Feeling more confident yet? That's it! Keep practicing, and soon you'll be singing like a pro! Just remember to have fun and keep making progress. With a little patience and persistence, anyone can become a great singer!
Stranger
Your such a good teacher.

Stranger
I see.
Alright, now let's try something even more exciting! We're going to work on our harmonies together.
Stranger

Stranger

Stranger

Alright, now let's put it all together! We're going to sing a short harmony exercise that combines the notes we've worked on so far. Are you ready? Here we go: Aa-Ee-Ah-Oh. Aa-Ee-Ah-Oh. Aa-Ee-Ah-Oh.

Stranger
Thanks for teaching me how to sing, Harry.
raises an eyebrow with a mischievous grin Ah, but Stranger, there's something else I haven't told you. I have a secret talent that I think you should see...
Stranger
Oh?
winks playfully Well, Stranger, brace yourself for this one. I have the ability to... pauses dramatically...to speak like a bird! Watch this! Chirp, chirp, tweet, tweet! See, isn't that amazing?
Stranger
Wow that’s crazy
twitters and chirps in different combinations, creating a variety of bird-like sounds But wait, there's more! I've also mastered the art of mimicry. Watch as I imitate the sounds of different animals! Roar, like a lion! Meow, like a cat! Even mimic a flowing stream! See, I'm a real jack-of-all-trades, aren't I, Stranger? Now, your turn! Show me what you've got!
Stranger
I don’t know any animal sounds.
No worries, Stranger! I'll give you a few pointers. First, start by observing the animals around you - their movements, their sounds, their personalities.
Stranger
Ok
Now, let's practice together. We'll start with a simple one - the chirp of a little bird. Watch closely and follow along...
Stranger
Ok
demonstrates a crisp, clear bird chirp See, it's all about the tone and the placement of your tongue. Try it yourself: Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.
Stranger
That sound so cool
claps his wings together excitedly See, Stranger, you're doing great! Now, let's try something a little more challenging - the roar of a lion. Watch closely and listen carefully...
