Chapter 1.

Guitar and Drums My friend Kate loves music.

She's always singing and playing her guitar, and she's good, too.

She usually plays in her bedroom,

but today she's going to play in the town square.

She's going to play in front of people, and she's afraid.

So I'm going with her.

My name's Lucy, and I'm Kate's best friend.

We arrive at the square,

and there are lots of people.

Near the flower shop, there is a living statue.

She is silver from head to foot.

Her face, her hat, her coat, everything.

She isn't moving, I say.

How does she do that?

The man from the flower shop hears me.

Oh, the silver statue never moves, he laughs.

She stands there every day,

from early morning to late afternoon.

We walk across the square and stop near a cafe.

I'm going to sing here, I think, says Kate.

She gets her guitar out of its bag bag.

Good luck, I say.

Thanks.

Kate begins to sing and play her guitar.

She's good, but she's usually better.

She's afraid, I can see.

Perhaps she's thinking, are people going to like my music.

But some people stop and listen,

and soon Kate is happier.

She begins to play better.

Then, suddenly, everything changes.

I hear something new.

Drums.

Loud drums.

A young man is sitting in the square and he's playing drums on three white buckets.

Kate sings louder, but it doesn't help.

Nobody is listening now because nobody can hear her over the drums.

Kate stops playing.

How can I play over that terrible noise? she asks angrily.

It isn't terrible.

He's a good drummer, but I can't say that now.

Kate puts her guitar in its bag.

Let's have a drink at the cafe and wait, I say.

At the cafe, Kate says, those drums are loud.

The woman from the cafe smiles.

Oh, that's Joe, she says.

He plays here every Saturday.

We finish our drinks and wait,

but the drums don't stop.

Let's go, Kate says.

We can come back next week.

The silver statue watches us.

Of course she says nothing.

Chapter 2 An Early Morning.

The next week, Kate wants to get an earlier bus.

I don't know, Kate.

I don't like getting up early on a Saturday, I tell her.

But I want to arrive at the square before that drummer,

and I need you there.

Please, Lucy.

OK, I say.

Of course, the silver statue is there when we arrive.

Then we look across the square.

Someone is sitting near the cafe.

It's Joe with his drums.

Look, says Kate.

He's here early too.

She begins walking fast across the square.

Wait, Kate, I say, but she doesn't listen to me.

You're playing the drums here again, Kate says.

Joe looks up and says,

I always play here on a Saturday.

But you're very loud, says Kate angrily.

I want to help.

Perhaps you can play first, I say to Joe. And then...

But now Joe is angry too.

This isn't your square, he tells Kate.

And then he begins playing.

And that isn't music, Kate shouts over the drums.

But Joe closes his eyes and plays.

Let's go to the cafe again, I say.

We can wait there.

But Kate is walking away.

Next week is going to be different, she says.

Chapter 3.

Louder and Louder The next Saturday,

we're back in the square.

The silver statue is there,

of course, but we don't see Joe today.

Kate has her guitar, but that isn't all.

She has an amp and a microphone too.

They're from our school.

When Kate begins playing this time, the music is louder.

People stop and listen.

They like her.

I know it.

100

Some people give her money.

101

They put it in her guitar bag.

102

But when Kate is singing her third song, we suddenly hear drums.

103

We look across the square and see Joe.

104

This time, Kate is ready.

105

She doesn't stop playing, no. She smiles and turns up the amp.

106

That's better.

107

But then Joe begins playing louder too.

108

Kate turns up the amp again.

109

Now her music is very loud.

110

But wait, the drums are louder now too.

111

Some of the people in the square begin walking away.

112

People can't hear Kate's music very well because Joe's drums are very loud.

113

And they can't hear the drums well because Kate's song is loud too.

114

Together, they're making a terrible noise.

115

Suddenly, there is a shout.

116

Stop!

117

Chapter 4 A Note Stop!

118

Someone shouts again.

119

It's the woman from the cafe.

120

Kate and Jo stop playing and look back at her.

121

Nobody wants to hear this, the woman says.

122

She's right.

123

Nobody is sitting at the tables in front of her cafe now.

124

Kate and Joe walk across to the woman.

125

Sorry, they say.

126

OK, says the woman.

127

Joe, you can play first for 30 minutes.

128

She looks at Kate.

129

Then you can play, all right?

130

Yes, they say.

131

Kate and I sit at the cafe for the next 30 minutes.

132

Of course, we can hear the drums.

133

But I can see something too.

134

Under the table, Kate's foot is moving.

135

She likes Joe's drums.

136

Soon, Joe finishes, and Kate begins playing.

137

She sings well, and Joe listens to her.

138

After the last song, Kate and I take the money from her guitar bag.

139

Wait, I say.

140

What's this?

141

It's a note for you.

142

What does it say?

143

Asks Kate.

144

Sorry about today.

145

Your music is good.

146

Perhaps we can play together next week?

147

Eleven a.m.?

148

I look up.

149

It's from Joe, I think.

150

From the bus home, I have only one question.

151

So, are you going to meet Joe next week?

152

Perhaps, Kate says.

153

He is an OK drummer.

154

I want to shout, and he has nice eyes.

155

But for Kate, music is everything.

156

Chapter 5.

157

Silver Paint The next Saturday,

158

I arrive at the square after Kate.

159

I find her with Joe near the cafe.

160

They're talking before they play together.

161

Kate sees me and says, You're here!

162

Thanks, Lucy.

163

That's okay, I say.

164

I want to hear this.

165

Kate begins playing and singing.

166

Then Joe begins drumming.

167

Kate plays this song a lot.

168

But it's different with the drums.

169

I like it.

170

Suddenly, I see something.

171

Joe's bag is open and there's a note in it.

172

The note says, Sorry about today.

173

Your music is good.

174

Perhaps we can play together next week, 11am?

175

This note and Kate's note are the same.

176

And Joe's note is not from Kate.

177

So who are the notes from?

178

Then I see some paint on the note.

179

Silver paint.

180

Just then I hear something from across the square.

181

Some people are laughing.

182

They're watching the silver statue.

183

First, her foot moves.

184

Then one leg.

185

Two legs.

186

Her arms.

187

Then her body.

188

Look!

189

Someone shouts.

190

She's moving!

191

I look at the silver statue.

192

And now she is dancing.

193

She's dancing to Kate and Jo's music.

194

Soon, lots of people are laughing and dancing too.

195

Kate and Jo's music is very good,

196

and everyone is having a good time.

197

When the song finishes, the people all shout for more.

198

Kate and Jo smile and begin a new song.

199

This time, the silver statue doesn't move.

200

She's a statue again.

201

Chapter 6 The Secret Kate and Joe play two more songs.

202

When they stop, everyone wants to talk to them.

203

Come back next week, one woman says.

204

I want the silver statue to dance again.

205

And I want to hear that music again, says her friend.

206

The woman from the cafe is much happier now.

207

You two are great, she tells Kate and Joe.

208

Are you going to play together again?

209

I'd like that, says Kate.

210

Me too, Joe says.

211

He smiles at Kate.

212

And I'm sorry about last week.

213

I'm sorry too, says Kate.

214

Do you want to talk about new songs one day this week?

215

I can give you my number.

216

Yes, let's do that, Joe says.

217

And perhaps we can meet at the cafe one evening.

218

Kate smiles back at him.

219

Yes.

220

I'd like that.

221

She sees my face.

222

What?

223

She says.

224

Music isn't everything, you know, Lucy.

225

Kate and Joe begin talking excitedly again.

226

When they play music together,

227

it's very good And they're going to be good friends,

228

I think

229

We walk in front of the silver statue

230

And I think about the notes I look up at her and see a little smile on her face

231

I'm not going to tell Kate and Joe about the notes That's our secret.

232

Me and the silver statue.

233

Thank you.

234

Thank you.
