Music is beautiful. It is without boundaries<br />

and brings people together. This also applies<br />

to those who live in the big forest. Wirrwusel<br />

and many other forest dwellers are little professional<br />

musicians and so, with the help of<br />

the active Kobribri, found an orchestra that<br />

delights everyone and forges new friendships.<br />

Wirrwusel very much enjoys whistling. He<br />

loves waving his four colourful wings to the<br />

rhythm. Making music is his favourite pastime<br />

of all. Indeed, his greatest wish is to be a<br />

conductor with a large and loud orchestra. It is<br />

fortunate that Kobribri likes to listen to him<br />

making music and therefore one day makes a<br />

decision: he must provide Wirrwusel with an<br />

orchestra. He sets out straight away. The forest<br />

is full of talented musicians, but unfortunately<br />

up until now they have all just played by<br />

themselves. Kobribri soon convinces all of<br />

them to join the orchestra. The trumpet player<br />

Rüsselmaus, the violinists Fis-one and Fistwo,<br />

the harp player Harpo junior, the singer<br />

Nachtigans and many others are delighted to<br />

finally be able to play music with others. They<br />

play everything across the board, from polkas<br />

to waltzes and rock and roll. Wirrwusel is<br />

more than happy and grateful to Kobribri for<br />

his help. Without him, it would never have<br />

been possible. A true friend!<br />
