The Lost Drum

Title Page

One day a boy went to play a drum.

He went inside to ask his mom something.  He went back outside.

He lost his drum.

The drum blew away.

It landed on the gazelle.

He was mad.

The gazelle went to get a drink of water.  The drum blew away.

It landed on the turtle's back.

The turtle felt like it would never come off.

The boy saw the turtle and his drum.

He pulled the drum off the turtle's back.

The turtle was happy.  The boy was happy, too.

He never took his drum outside again.

The end.
