Description
Each day the gypsy walks with the sea on his right and the mountains on his left, and each night he rests and plays his lute. Four beautiful animals - the lion, the grey Ibis, the scorpion and the viper snake hide in the shadows and listen to him play. One morning he doesn't wake up - how can the animals save the life of the gypsy whose music they love?
