Join their journey as they step through the jungle talking their way through ten philosophical subjects. Starting with: (in order)Who are we?Where do we come from? Why are we here? Friendship Why do bad things happen? Happiness Morality Destiny Love Philosophy The bird is impatient and hot headed while the elephant is calming and wise.
