Do you know who has that penny whistle now?
Who?
Rabbit.

When Franklin was a baby, his father played that whistle to make him stop crying.
He did?
Dad, will you play the Meadowlark song for me?
There's a song I haven't heard in a long while.
Yes. How does it start?
It starts with me crying.

Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He could blow on his whistle and sing a song, too. But Franklin wanted to play songs on a real musical instrument and that took a lot more practice than he thought.
When Miss Panda comes back, she'll pick me to play a song.
Who's coming first?
BFBeaver and Franklin
Me!
That's what I like in my music students - enthusiasm.
Hey, Franklin. I had another extra-long practice today because you didn't show up.
I don't need to practice boring stuff anymore. I know a song!
Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He could ride his bike to Granny's house and ride a bus to school. But Franklin had never been on a trip far away from home.
We use to go on vacation.
Yes, but then we had a baby turtle.
A baby turtle? Oh yeah, me.
Mom, are we going to be there soon? We've been driving for so long!
Dad!
Isn't that Franklin's job?
It doesn't look like anything fun has been invented here.
Wow! Neat!
I have to milk a cow?
[enthusiastically] Hi, Mom! Did you have a nice walk?
[sarcastically] Yes. Nice and long.
