[Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] A man's six legs bring him far and wide. [Music] for he has three on each [Music] side. His mouth is as sharp as a dart. His head is shaped like a heart. [Music] Where did it come from? I don't know. I just found it. What does it do? Catch it. [Music] What? What? What are they? They're glass that make everything look big and beautiful. [Music] [Music] Ladybug. The ladybug, I'm sure, is snug. And as far as I've seen, her body's shiny and clean. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Have you ever seen an ant? He's smaller than an infant. He's so ugly. It's [Music] pitiful. I think to be an ant would be dull. [Music] [Music] Hey now, wait. It's only me. The big fat potato bugs. Don't you see? So don't run away. It's nothing to fear. But since you're so scared, I'll just stand right here.
