Once upon a time there was a little bear named Benny. Benny loved to play the drums, but he had a problem. He only had one drum! So, Benny had to improvise. He used pots and pans to make his own drum kit, and he practiced every day.

One day, Benny heard a jam session going on in the park. He grabbed his drum kit and ran to join in. The musicians were amazed by Benny's skills and asked him to play with them. Benny was so happy that he started playing a beat that he made up on the spot.

The other musicians listened to Benny's beat and started playing along. They played a loop of Benny's beat, and it was so catchy that everyone in the park started dancing. People cheered and clapped for Benny, who had just become the star of the jam session.

Benny learned that when you listen to others and work together, great things can happen. From that day on, Benny continued to play at jam sessions and always remembered to listen and improvise. The end.
