Once upon a time, there was a quiet rocket who loved to play the piano. But one day, while practicing, a spider crawled out of the keys. The rocket was so surprised, it dropped its pencil. Suddenly, the telephone rang and the rocket answered to hear that the queen needed its help. The queen had a snake problem in her kingdom. So, the rocket quickly hopped on a train and set off to save the day. When it arrived, it found the snake tangled up in some rabbit's burrow. The rocket used its pencil to carefully untangle the snake and set it free. The queen was so grateful that she made the rocket the official pianist of the kingdom. And from that day on, the rocket played beautiful music for all to hear, never again disturbing the peace with a dropped pencil.
