Antonia loves to sing - she is the Bianca Castafiore of the forest, who thinks of herself as a golden - voiced creature.
When she starts to sing in the morning, all the animals groan - but it does rouse them from their slumbers.
All the same, they would prefer to silence Antonia's `divine' voice.
One day Antonia decides she's h ad enough and leaves.
Only then do the animals notice what they are missing.
They don't wake up in the morning and somehow they even start missing that out - of - tune warbling.
Antonia returns in disguise and hears the animals praising her.
So she decides t o return to them for good.
The next morning, her unique, inimitable voice wakes them all up again.
