"The first water works, as water has a lightness with which it flies over the highest walls and sneaks under the most barred doors. In this group, there is a lot of talk about sadness in the character of the whale that joined the gang recently. These sorrows overlook us from among the clouds, Mr. Mouse, who does not know the impossible, to tell us that behind these thick clouds is Samsh (the sun), and of course there is The King of the Watermelon, who whenever he bids farewell to worries, he receives new ones, but he always focuses his eyes on a small flower in a field of cacti, and Fasoon and Fasooneh jump between verses of poetry, to tell us in their own way that love is sometimes a form of storm, and sometimes the sun shines, but the storm does not leave our heart, just like what happened with Professor Elephant, whose heart is a fish and his heart storms, but always, no matter how intense the storm, he clings to the flag of the sun while it flutters, waiting for awakening." - Majd Kurdieh
