To show gratitude, the Pygmies sing songs of praise and thanks to the forest whenever something good happens- such as someone being healed after becoming ill.
*Observations*
Although there are villagers who interact with the Pygmies and do not believe the same, the Pygmies at times sing songs of the molimo in the presence of the villagers. This only occurs when that villager is a lover of the forest, such as the Pygmies. When something good occurs, songs of praise and thanks come from the Pygmies to show their gratitude to the forest for helping one of its children.
