Once upon a time, there lived a band of musical animals who loved to march in parades. One day, they heard that the biggest parade of the year was happening on the street outside their door. Excitedly, they gathered their instruments and headed out to join the parade. But as they marched down the street, they suddenly realized they had forgotten their drum! They quickly ran back to their home, but when they reached the door, they found that it was locked! The band was stuck and the parade was about to start!
Just then, a clever rabbit had an idea. They all climbed up the stairs to the roof of their building. From there, the band played their instruments as loudly as they could, and the parade-goers below were amazed by the beautiful music coming from above. And so, the band of musical animals became the hit of the parade, playing their music from the rooftop for everyone to enjoy. The End.

Reflections

1. What did the band do when they realized they forgot their drum?
2. How did the band become the hit of the parade?
3. What did the parade-goers think of the music coming from the rooftop?
4. Do you think the band learned a lesson from this experience? If so, what was it?
