After every scene, a Word Time card teaches key Chinese words — meaning, pronunciation and an example sentence. A fun way to practice Chinese listening with a story — for kids and beginners. (about 11 min) Kinti the hummingbird is so tiny that the other animals tease her. One dry summer night, lightning sets the Amazon forest on fire, and the flames creep toward the kapok tree where three baby macaws are waiting for their mother. While everyone freezes, Kinti flies to the river again and again, carrying one drop of water at a time. "What can one drop do?" laughs the proud jaguar. But one by one, the toucan, the monkeys and even the jaguar join in… and when Kinti's tired wings finally stop, it's the jaguar's big paw that catches her.
