JennyKim—violin"작은 하마는 작은 장난감 기차를 가지고 있었어요.작은 하마는 작

은 장난감 기차를 매우 사랑했답니다.그들의 작은 세상 안에서 웃

고 떠들고 놀며 정말 즐거운 시간을 보내곤 했어요.그러던 어느 날

작은 까마귀가 날아가 작은 장난감 기차를 훔쳐가 버렸어요!작은

하마는 너무 슬펐지만,용기를 내기로 했답니다.다음날 작은 하마는

작은 산을 넘고 작은 계곡을 넘어서 작은 떡갈나무를 타고 올라가

나쁜 작은 까마귀의 배때지에 칼빵을 놔줬답니다.누구든 작은 하마를 건드리면 정말

안돼는거에요.정말 안돼는거야."
