Ava got a small drum for her birthday. She played it in the kitchen. Bang, bang, bang! Her baby brother woke up and cried.

Mom said, "The baby needs to sleep. Please play outside."

Ava took her drum to the back yard. She played it under the big tree. A bird flew down and sat on the fence. It looked at Ava and sang.

Ava smiled. "Now we have a band," she said.
