Oh my, the sounds, birds, insects, and waterfalls surround me. A frightening squeal rockets past as a monkey swings from a vine. The dense, rich greenery on the ground and trees make it hard to know where to go. Where am I?

The cool and refreshing water slaps against the side of our boat. An occasional spray wets our face. Boaters wave as they pass by. Where am I?

There are animal sounds and odors everywhere! Just as I'm about to gag on an odor, a friendly cow walks and looks at me. She makes me chuckle. Then a chicken squawks from behind me. The reader can tell I am-
