Have you ever played the game of telephone? Have you ever said something to someone that got totally turned around and misunderstood? Well, come to Africa for a minute and let's listen to the animals down by the waterhole. Friends, Turtle and Bird are walking down to the waterhole together. Turtle tells Bird, "The waterhole is always a good place for a laugh. But, lately the humor has been drying up." And so it begins. Bird doesn't really hear what Turtle is saying to him and he flies off and tells Elephant that the waterhole is drying up. This kicks off a wonderful chain of misunderstandings. Talk about cause and effect. Crocodile, Lion, Hippo, Gazelle and more African animals are in for quite a "ruckus."
