He summons six children to help provide a Dream for the Future and animals who explain why they are frightened of humans. Then monsters arrive who, to the childrens' surprise, turn out to be men and women - hunters, farmers, developers, yobbos and even picnickers. With the Piper's help the children show the monsters what they have to do to protect the environment. |
