The Magic of Sound

Anna was sitting in the middle of their garden,

while watching her cat and dog playing Meow – meow
-meow said her little cat; arf – arf – arf barks of her dog.
As she watched her pets, the phone rang “kring –
kring – kring” it was her father calling. And then she
strummed her favorite guitar “kleng – kleng - kleng”. As
she sang and strummed her guitar, the cool night air
gently blew on her face whoosh –whoosh - whoosh.
All of a sudden, she heard a roar and cry of a baby!
eair – eair - eair) It was coming from down the back of
the yard. It sounded like a tricycle starting. The strange
noise started getting louder and louder “vrooom –
vroom - vroom”.
A couple of seconds later she felt leaves and twigs
blowing onto her bare legs. She slowly turned around. It
was only mum coming down the path, with her baby
sister.
