Mira has a drum. It's red. It says boom, boom. Mira smiles. Mira drums.

Bobo is a bear. Bobo has a guitar. The guitar is blue. It says plink, plink. Bobo nods.

Pip is a little bird. Pip has a flute. The flute is yellow. It says feeee. Pip flies around.

They go to the park. The grass is soft. The sun is warm. The air smells of apple. Mira goes first.

Tap, tap with feet. Boom, boom on the drum. Plink, plink on the guitar. Feeee from the flute. It sounds happy.

Children hear the sound. They look. They come. They clap. Clap, clap. They dance and jump.

A dog named Rufus comes by. He says woof. Woof, woof to the beat. A little cat sneaks. She says meow. Meow to the music.

Mira stops. It is quiet for a moment. Everyone listens. A wind says whoosh. Then boom! Everyone laughs. The music starts again.

The parade gets long. One step. Another. Together they go. Mira, Bobo, and Pip. Friends and animals. All in rhythm.

They sit down. They drink juice. The juice is sweet. Cheeks are warm. Mira hugs the drum. The drum rests. The heart says thump, thump. Mira whispers: More music tomorrow.
