Once upon a time, there was a little bird named Treble who lived in a forest. Treble loved music and was always singing a happy tune. One day, Treble heard about a symphony that was going to be performed in the nearby meadow. Treble was so excited that he decided to join in and perform with the other animals.

When Treble arrived at the meadow, he saw that all the animals were practicing their instruments. There was a bear playing the drums, a rabbit playing the flute, and a fox playing the guitar. Treble didn't have an instrument, but he decided to use his beautiful voice as his instrument.

As the symphony was about to begin, the conductor, a wise old owl, asked Treble what his role in the performance would be. Treble proudly announced that he would be the lead singer. The conductor smiled and gave Treble the sheet music for the tonic, which was the main tune of the symphony.

Treble was a little nervous as he stepped up to the front of the stage, but as soon as he started singing, all the other animals joined in, and the meadow was filled with beautiful music. Treble's voice was so strong and clear that it carried the theme of the symphony and set the tempo for all the other instruments.

However, just as the symphony was reaching its climax, Treble's stem, which was the stick that held his feathery body upright, snapped in half. Treble fell over, and all the other animals stopped playing. But Treble didn't give up. He continued to sing, lying on the ground.

The other animals were so inspired by Treble's determination that they all joined in and started singing and playing their instruments with even more passion. The meadow was filled with a beautiful symphony of music, and Treble's voice rose above it all, soaring through the air with a beautiful timber that echoed throughout the forest.

The animals all cheered and clapped, and Treble was declared the star of the show. From that day on, Treble was known as the bravest and most musical bird in the forest. And every time a symphony was performed in the meadow, Treble was always there, singing his heart out and inspiring all the other animals to make beautiful music together.
