New Ears for Ani
Jayda and Ani were talking about the school musical when the bell rang. Tryouts were later in the afternoon, and everyone was excited.
“Why don’t you try out for the school musical?” asked Jayda. “I’m going to try out for the role of the hero.”
“You’re a better singer than I am, and the hero sings a lot,” said Ani. “Anyway, I can’t try out. I’m too shy.”
“But you’re so funny,” said Jayda.“Kate is funnier than I am,” said Ani. “She’s
going to try out for the carnival announcer. The announcer is supposed to be really funny.”

Later that day, Ani watched from the back of the auditorium while her friends tried out for the musical. She wished she could sing like Jayda or be confident enough to tell jokes like Kate.
“Great job, everyone,” said Mrs. turner. “What we need now is someone to play the shy rabbit, but there’s no one left to audition.” She turned and saw Ani. “Excuse me. You, in the back of the auditorium,” she called. “How would you like to wear these rabbit ears?”
Ani smiled and walked to the stage.
