Look! A bright, cozy playroom. Soft sunshine comes in through a big window. Colorful toys sit on a warm rug. What a happy place to play!
Here is Michael! Michael loves puzzles. He loves to look and find things. Today, Michael sees something new on the little shelf. Something shiny. Something red!
It is a shiny red drum! It glows with tiny golden sparkles. Michael picks it up. He gives it one little tap. BOOM! Oh, what a sound!
Michael taps the shiny red drum again. BOOM BOOM! Golden sparkles float up, up, up! They dance in the air like tiny stars. Michael laughs. More! More!
BOOM BOOM BOOM! Fast and slow. Loud and soft. Michael plays a happy beat. The more he plays, the brighter the sparkles glow! Playing a little bit makes the magic grow.
Oh no! The shiny red drum rolls away! It rolls off the rug. It rolls past the yellow shaker. It rolls behind the big toy box. Where did it go?
Michael looks around. Where is the drum? Can you see it? Michael loves puzzles. He can find it! He looks down. Look — a trail of tiny golden sparkles on the floor!
Michael follows the sparkles. Step, step, step. Past the yellow shaker. Past the tiny blue xylophone. The sparkles lead him to the big toy box. He peeks behind it.
There it is! The shiny red drum! Michael found it! He picks it up and hugs it tight. The golden sparkles glow warm and bright. Good job, Michael!
Michael plays his drum every day. A little tap in the morning. A little beat after lunch. Every time he plays, even just a little, the sparkles grow brighter. Practice makes the magic stronger!
Now the sun goes down. The sky turns soft and pink. Michael sits on the warm rug. He plays a gentle beat. Tap… tap… tap. Soft and slow. A little bedtime song.
Michael's eyes get sleepy. He holds his shiny red drum close. The golden sparkles hum a tiny lullaby. Tomorrow, there will be new beats to play. New songs to find. And the music… will keep on growing.
