Once upon a time there was a mop who loved to dance. One day, he decided to visit the farm to see all the crops. When he arrived, he started bop-ing and drop-ping to the beat of the music. The crops were so impressed that they started hop-ping along with him. But then, the farmer came with his big wooded chop-ping block. The mop quickly realized that he was in trouble and started to run. He bop-ed and drop-ped and hop-ped over the crops until he reached the safety of the barn. From that day on, the mop became known as the dancing mop and every time he visited the farm, the crops would gather to see him bop, drop, hop, and chop his way through the fields.
