Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who lived with her sister, brother, mother and father. One day, Lily's grandmother came to visit and brought her new baby boy with her. The sister and brother were very excited to meet their new cousin, but the baby boy was not happy. He cried and cried, no matter what anyone did.

Lily had an idea. She went to her grandfather and asked him to bring his accordion. Grandfather played a lively tune on the accordion and the baby boy stopped crying and started to dance. Everyone joined in, even the father and the mother.

The baby boy was so happy that he started to giggle and the whole family laughed together. From that day on, whenever the baby boy visited, the whole family would dance and sing, and he would always be happy.

The end.

Reflections

1. Why did the baby boy cry?
2. How did Lily make the baby boy happy?
3. What instrument did Lily's grandfather play?
4. Who joined in on the dancing and singing?
5. Was the baby boy happy at the end of the story?
