When Veronica learned to play the violin, at first she was awful. It was terrible for the neighbours. But she practised, and became so much better that it seemed she could make the whole world cry. She wasn't having enough adventure though, so she packed up and went off to the deepest darkest jungle, where her playing charmed (nearly) all the fierce creatures into dancing. The streets are not full of happy, dancing people, though - perhaps the deaf, old lion might know why.
