   Kofi loved his drum more than anything. He played it in the morning, at noon and at night.

   “Kofi, please!” groaned his mother. “The goats can't sleep, the baby is crying and I can't hear myself think!”

   Kofi put his drum away. The house was quiet, but he felt sad.

   A week later, the village festival began. The dancers were ready, but the festival drummer was ill. No one could keep the beat.
