Once upon a time, there was a sister named Sarah who loved to play with her baby brother. One day, she heard that her grandpa and grandma were coming to visit. When they arrived, Sarah's mum and dad asked them to take care of the baby while they went out. Grandpa and Grandma agreed and soon found themselves in charge of the little one.

As they were playing, the baby started to cry. Grandpa tried to soothe him with lullabies, but they didn't work. So, he got an idea. He put on his silly hat and began to dance around the room, making silly faces. The baby couldn't help but laugh and soon stopped crying.

When Sarah's mum and dad returned, they found their baby happily playing with Grandpa and Grandma, who were still dancing and making silly faces. From that day on, every time the baby cried, Grandpa would put on his silly hat and dance, and the baby would always stop crying and start laughing.

The end.
