Once upon a time, in a magical land filled with talking animals, there was a curious little fox named Finn. Finn loved to play and make noise, but he quickly learned that not everyone appreciated his loud behavior.

One day, while playing with his friends, Finn stumbled upon a grating sound coming from a nearby cave. Being the adventurous fox he was, Finn decided to investigate. As he approached the cave, the sound grew louder and more piercing. He soon realized it was the voice of a dragon, who was singing at the top of his lungs.

"Wow, that dragon sure has a booming voice," Finn thought to himself. But as he got closer, he noticed that the dragon was singing out of tune and making a horrible racket.

Finn tiptoed closer, trying to be as hushed as possible, but the dragon suddenly stopped singing and turned to face him.

"Who are you, and why are you making such a loud noise?" the dragon bellowed, his voice deafening.

"I'm sorry," Finn replied, trying to be as gentle as possible. "I was just passing by and couldn't help but notice your singing. It's a little bit…um…off-key."

The dragon's face turned red with anger. "Off-key? How dare you! I have the voice of an angel," he yelled, his voice blaring.

But just as suddenly as he had gotten mad, the dragon's expression changed and a faint smile appeared on his face. "You know what? Maybe you're right. I've been singing the same song for so long, I've forgotten what it sounds like. Could you help me practice?"

Finn was hesitant at first, but he couldn't resist the opportunity to help a dragon improve his singing. So, he agreed to help the dragon practice, and soon they were singing together, with Finn gently guiding the dragon's voice.

As they continued to practice, the other animals in the forest began to gather around, drawn by the noise. Some of them were noisy, some were mute, but all were fascinated by the dragon's newfound ability to sing in tune.

And from that day on, the dragon was no longer known for his piercing voice and muffled songs, but for his beautiful, booming voice that echoed through the forest and brings joy to all who hear it.

The end.
