The Dancing Drum

Once upon a time, in a beautiful village in Africa, there lived many happy people. The village had round houses with golden straw roofs that sparkled in the sunshine. Children played together in the dusty paths between the houses, their laughter ringing like little bells. Mothers sang sweet songs while they cooked delicious food over warm fires. Fathers told wonderful stories under the big baobab tree when the sun went down. Everyone in the village loved each other very much. They shared their food, helped with each other's work, and danced together when the moon was bright. The village was like one big, happy family where everyone belonged and everyone was loved.
