As the sun rises, Juma joins his family and friends in a circle, ready to leap and bound in the air – whoop-whoop!
With every jump, Juma feels connected to the laughter and love of his ancestors, who jump and leap in his heart.
The rhythm of the drums fills the air, creating a jolly, jumping jubilee as Juma and his people leap higher and higher – hooray!
After the dance, Juma feels proud and happy, knowing that he's part of a special tradition – a legacy of joy and unity.
As the stars twinkle above, Juma drifts off to sleep, dreaming of the next jumping jubilee – goodnight, Juma!
In the peaceful night, the sound of jubilant jumping still echoes in Juma's heart – leap, leap, leap – sweet dreams, Juma!
