After lunch, Miss Bliss said, “It’s time for music. Who wants to help pass out the instruments?”

Katie raised her hand.

“You may do it,” said Miss Bliss.

“Yay!” Katie smiled. “Miss Bliss finally picked me.”

But Katie was so excited, she dropped everything.

Bam! went the drums.

Bling! Ring! went the cymbals.

What a racket!

“Dopey girl,” said Roddy.

Katie felt totally dopey.

The class began singing, “Row, row, row your boat.”

Sophie stood close to Miss Bliss. She shook her tambourine and her pretty curls. Miss Bliss smiled at her.

“I wish Miss Bliss would smile at me,” said Katie.
