The next day, Maggie’s mother brought her around the corner for her very first music lesson.

The second the music teacher saw the size of the cello, she fell off her chair with a BOOF BANG BLOMP!

“That’s not a cello, that’s a whale!” she gasped, “I can’t even see you back there!  How did you get such a gigantic instrument?”

The teacher explained to Maggie that to play the cello, you need to be able to “hug” it between your knees.  Maggie couldn’t even hug it with her arms stretched out as far as they could go.  The teacher insisted this cello was too big!

But Maggie just said “La la la, I can’t hear you saying silly, silly things!” and shook her head like she had a bee in her brain she had to knock out.
