A curious child climbs up to the attic and discovers a jumbleof boxes, trunks, old clothes, and dusty junk. There, a blackleather case catches her eye. She pries it open and finds insidean old trumpet—her grandmother’s from high school. Sitting on thefloor, she taps on the tarnished keys and twists the mouthpiece. As sheblows through it, the trumpet becomes alive with music. To her delight,she discovers more and more treasures in the attic. Staccato rain playson the roof just above as she looks through.
