Pup is sitting on the left side of the image in front of a bush, looking upward with a drowsy, slightly annoyed expression and closed eyes, as if bothered by the loud chirping sounds. The outdoor scene has a warm, golden-orange background suggesting a sunny afternoon. The right side of the image is plain open background.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Pup sits by his best shrub. He is so sleepy. He shuts one lid. He shuts the next lid. Chirp! Chirp! Pup sighs. 'I just need a nap. What is that chirping?'

Pup is on the right side of the image, crouching low and sniffing around a patch of grass and bushes with a curious, alert expression and ears perked high as he searches for the source of the chirping sounds. The outdoor scene has a warm golden-orange background suggesting a sunny day. The left side of the image is plain open background.

Pup drops his nose to the dirt. Sniff, sniff, sniff. 'I will spot that chirper,' he says. He checks one shrub first. Then he checks the next. But the chirping just gets louder. Chirp! Chirp!

On the left side of the image, Trunk stands in the grass, leaning forward with his trunk extended toward Pup. Pup sits facing Trunk, looking up with a curious, happy expression, ears perked and tail raised. The two are close together, as if greeting each other. The scene is set outdoors in a sunny backyard meadow with green and golden grass that fills the background.

Pup bursts past the grass and bumps smack into Trunk. 'Trunk!' yells Pup. 'Stop that chirp!' Trunk tilts up his trunk and tries. 'Phbbt,' says Trunk. That is not a chirp at all.

In the lower half of the image, Pup peeks out from behind a golden-yellow bush on the left, looking toward the right with a curious, wide-eyed expression and mouth slightly open. Spike stands in the lower right, partially nestled among the bushes with quills raised, facing toward Pup. The scene is set outdoors in a field of dense golden bushes against a warm late-afternoon sky.

Chirp! Chirp! Pup peeks out from a shrub and spots Spike. Spike's quills stir and stick up. 'Spike!' says Pup. 'Stop that chirp!' 'Hiss,' says Spike. That is not a chirp. Pup turns and jogs on.

On the right side of the image, Pup hangs upside down from a thick tree branch, gripping it with all four paws, looking up with a curious, wide-eyed expression. Several toucans are perched along the branches around and above Pup, sitting calmly and facing various directions. The scene is set outdoors among leafy tree branches with a muted green background.

'It must be a bird,' says Pup. 'Birds chirp!' He hangs upside down in the tree. Birds sit still in a row and gaze at him. Not one bird chirps. Not a peep.

On the left side of the image, Pup is curled up on the ground with eyes closed and a peaceful, content smile, finally settling down for a nap. Several small crickets are perched on the leafy branch in the upper-left corner, sitting quietly. The outdoor scene has a warm, dusky reddish-purple background suggesting evening twilight, with the right side of the image left as plain background.

Chirp! Chirp! Tiny bugs sit up on a leaf. 'It is the bugs!' says Pup. The bugs go still. Not a chirp. So Pup curls up, snug in the dusk. At last he can sleep.
