Meanwhile, the first fairy was still banging and clattering at the kitchen sink, scouring and scrubbing, scouring and scrubbing.
The fairy tossed a bundle of clothing into the washer, then cranked the machine on til it was whirring and churning, thumping and bumping. NARRATOR: Before Oliver knew what was happening, the second fairy whooshed past him.
NARRATOR: And who should come speeding into the house when Oliver turned the knob… but one more fairy!įAIRY 2: “ Doing laundry is the worst,” you say? / Then I’ll take over! / Heed and make way!!!! NARRATOR: Well… the minute Oliver spoke those words. The laundry! I almost forgot! And I thought washing dishes was the worst.? No way! Doing laundry is the worst. Beside it was the laundry basket, piled high with dirty shirts, wrinkled pants and sweaty socks. NARRATOR: But then Oliver’s glance fell on the washing machine. Is this really happening? Is that fairy really washing the dishes for me? It’s like a dream come true! In an instant, dishes were banging and clattering as the magical creature set to scouring and scrubbing the plates, bowl, pots and pans. NARRATOR: Oliver gasped as the tiny sprite zipped above his head. NARRATOR: As Oliver ran to the door and turned the knob, who should come barreling into the house… but a fairy!įAIRY 1: “ Washing dishes is the worst,” you say? / Then I’ll take over! / Heed and make way!!!! OLIVER: Is Mom back already? Did she forget her key? NARRATOR: The moment Oliver uttered those words, he heard a knock at the door. OLIVER: My goodness - how can one pancake breakfast make such a big mess? Ugh. It was piled high with dirty, sticky plates, bowls, pots and pans. As the car started up and drove away, Oliver cast his eyes on the kitchen sink. So he promised he’d finish his chores before Mom got back. But you also know how he felt about pizza! NARRATOR: Well, you know how Oliver felt about chores. Finish all those chores before I get home, and I’ll take you out for pizza tonight - your favorite!.

Like many children, maybe even you, there were many things Oliver enjoyed. NARRATOR: Not so long ago, in a town not so far away, a boy named Oliver lived with his mother.
The jazz trap kit usually consists of a bass drum, snare drum, tom, hi-hat and ride cymbal, making it much leaner and more compact kit than a rock kit. Jazz drummer Matt Wilson calls the drum set a “melting pot,” since it combines so many traditions although it’s a uniquely American invention, it mixes elements from Africa (tom-toms), Asia (cymbals) and Europe (snare). “Trap” is short for “contraption,” and the contraption known as the drum kit (or drum set) got its start in New Orleans in the 1890s, when crafty musicians rigged the snare drum, bass drum, and cymbals of a marching band into a single contraption for the stage, so that one drummer could play them all.
