Transcript:
Petey: I learned a new oboe piece called "Sad Little Monkey." Alice: Can we hear it? Petey: Heenkahooghoogheenkhoohoohankhahonkaonkank Alice: That was so sad. Dill: Sob. Alice: Especially the part in the middle where the monkey loses his socks in the backyard and he gets yelled at by his mom. Sniff... Dill: It's so unfair! Or the part where nobody likes him and he doesn't get invited to the lemur's party and he's home all alone. Alice: That was powerful stuff. Petey: Wow.

Every kid who ever took beginner lessons on any instrument could relate to the title “Sad Little Monkey”. My first piano piece was called “The Happy Hobo”.
