[English]

We are currently orbiting Planet Earth.

(Listening to headphones attached to controls)

I am picking up some noises... sounds like... cool music...

Such a beautiful... such a beautiful... such a beautiful...

Beautiful world.

EARTH

I'm the Earth, and for what it's worth

25 thousand miles is my girth

I've got more than 7 billion people living on me

All across my amazing geography

Check out my mountains, valleys, trees so tall

And I've got lakes, rivers and waterfalls

Volcanoes, craters, swamps with alligators

Tropical islands at my equator

The North and South poles have lots of ice

Only Polar Bears say, "This weather's nice!"

I've got so much land, yeah, I'm so immense

I've got 7 - (STORYBOT 2: "Seven!") - 7 different continents

North and South America, Europe, Asia

Africa, Antarctica, and Australia

But the biggest thing,

Everybody can see

Is that I gotta lotta water, all over me!

I have oceans with lobsters, whales, otters

Three quarters of me is covered in water

I orbit the sun - (THE SUN: "I'm so hot") - that's his line

And the moon orbits me - (THE MOON: "It's my time to shine")

I'm filled with life, both big and small

The most beautiful planet of all.

Such a beautiful... such a beautiful... such a beautiful...

beautiful world.

It is the home to every boy and girl

It's a beautiful, beautiful world. I'm getting homesick.

Me too. Computer, take us home.
