Se o gol for marcado,
um peixe encontra sua comida.
Quando o banquete é servido,
as ondas criam um espetáculo.
Se o sol sai de seu esconderijo,
uma tartaruga procura por um lugar para descansar.
Quando o relógio marca meia noite,
os fogos de artifício brilham ao luar.
Se um show começa a tocar,
as estrelas se juntam ao evento.
