The Drum

The Drum

Once there was a poor boy who lived with his mother in India. More than anything else, the boy wanted a drum.

One day, Mother gave the boy a stick.

The boy tapped on everything with his stick.

As he went tapping along, he saw a woman struggling to light her stove. " Take this stick to light your stove, " he said.

The woman gave the boy some bread as thanks. Then, the boy heard a hungry baby crying.
