The Seven Forest Animals

Somewhere in the mine, seven animals are doing their odd jobs there. Four are using pickaxes to dig up some treasures, one is riding a wagon full of diamonds that is being pulled by The Great Prince, one is checking the diamonds, and one is sweeping the junk and throwing it away. One of those animals was a young orangutan with orange fur and a birthmark of a banana on his foot. His name was Louie, Prince of the Apes.

The second one was a young tiger with orange fur and black stripes, a white muzzle, paws, and underbelly, and a white tip on his tail. His name was Shere Khan.

The third one was a young sloth bear with blue fur, an aqua muzzle and belly, a crimson nose, white claws and toenails, and a brief tail. His name was Baloo, Louie's best friend.

The fourth one was a mongoose with bluish-gray fur, a white tip on its tail, a white muzzle and underbelly, and four brown paws. His name was Mungo.

The fifth one was a young panther with black fur, yellow eyes, a pink nose, whiskers, and a dark gray muzzle. His name was Bagheera.

The sixth one was a young gray elephant with two small white tusks. His name was Hathi.

The seventh and last one was a young snake with olive green skin, dark brown spots, and yellow eyes. His name was Kaa.

While Jose was riding in the gem-filled wagon, Donald, Wilbur, Panchito, and Pooh were busy using their pickaxes to dig up glittering diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, etc.

Donald, Wilbur, Panchito, and Pooh: We dig, dig, dig, dig Dig, dig, dig In our mine The whole day through To dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig Is what we like to do

Wilbur: It ain't no trick To get rich quick

Donald: If ya dig, dig, dig With a shovel or a pick

Panchito: In a mine (In a mine)

Pooh: In a mine (In a mine)

Donald, Wilbur, Panchito, and Pooh: Where a million diamonds (Shine)

Jose drove out of the mine and decided to sing along with them. A fly came up in front of Mungo and buzzed around his head, annoying him greatly. He tried to swat the fly with his whip, but he missed and ended up hitting the buck instead.

Donald, Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, and Pooh: We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig From early morn 'til night

The buck pounded the wagon with his back hooves. Mungo was jostled around rather severely.

Donald, Wilbur, Panchito, and Pooh: We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig Dig up everything in sight

At a work table, Honest John was selecting a diamond from its box. He began tapping it with a little hammer. The diamond made a small ringing sound, making John smile. "Perfect!" he said to himself. Then he picked up a red gem.

Wilbur: We dig up diamonds By the score

Pooh: A thousand rubies Sometimes more

John tapped the red gem with the hammer, only for it to make a dull sound. "Ooh!" John cringed, "That gem has got to go!" Then he threw it on the ground.

Donald, Wilbur, Panchito, and Pooh: Though we don't know what we're diggin' for We dig, dig, dig-a-dig, dig

The red gem wasn't the only one on the ground. Piglet had a small broom in his left hoof and dustpan in his right. He swept them up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and threw them down. Then he walked to the table where John was working at. While John was examining a diamond rather closely, Piglet spotted two diamonds laying on the table. He picked them up a grinned. "Hey, Honest John!" he shouted, tapping Louie's shoulder.

John gasped and turned around fast, dropping the magnifying glass and diamond. He saw Piglet with the diamonds in his eyes. "Look at me," he cried, wiggling his ears. "I'm wearing glasses!" An annoyed John conked Piglet on the head, letting the diamonds fall onto the table. "Don't do that!" he warned.

"Sorry, John." Piglet grinned sheepishly.

A cuckoo clock struck 5:00, and John and Piglet smiled. John called to his friends to stop their work.

Honest John: Hi ho!

Donald, Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, and Pooh called back to John and Piglet, as if they were coming.

Donald, Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, and Pooh: Hi ho!

They picked up their axes, threw them over their shoulders, and left the mine, singing as they were ready to go home. While Donald led Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, and Pooh out of the mine, John and Piglet stood at the vault, holding separate bags of diamonds.

Donald, Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, and Pooh: Hi ho! Hi ho! Hi ho! Hi ho Hi ho It's home from work we go

As the animals were whistling, John easily threw his bag in the vault and walked away to get his lantern so he could join up with the group.

Donald, Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, and Pooh: Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho It's home from work we go

While the rest of the forest animals whistled, Piglet threw his bag in the vault, but he threw himself in as well. He ran out of the vault and shut the door. Then, he locked it and headed off to get his lantern and join the others.

Donald, Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, and Pooh: Hi ho Hi ho

But Piglet stopped. "Uh-oh, I forgot to put the key away." he said. As John, Donald, Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, and Pooh whistled, Piglet turned around and hung the key on a peg next to the vault. Then he ran off to get this pickaxe and lantern and join the group. "That is so stupid! What's the point of locking the stupid door if you put the key next to it!" Piglet muttered to himself.

Shadows appeared on a canyon wall as the forest animals turned a corner, still singing. John was in the lead, and Piglet was bringing up the rear.

Honest John, Donald, Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, Pooh, and Piglet: Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hum

As the sun was sinking lower in the west, John, Donald, Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, Pooh, and Piglet walked over a log past a waterfall.

Honest John, Donald, Wilbur, Jose, Panchito, Pooh, and Piglet: Hi ho Hi ho It's home from work we go (whistling) Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho It's home from work we go (whistling) Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho It's home from work we go (whistling) Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho Hi ho
