A family of musicians.0:20
Carol Parker was a very special kind of girl who was a member of a very special family.0:24
Everyone in Carol's family was a fine musician, and they were all the most musical family in the neighbourhood.0:32
They lived in a deserted village high in the mountains with a few other families.0:40
All the inhabitants of the village admired the musical family.0:46
Each of them played a different instrument and practiced their music in different corners of the house.0:50
Carol played the violin in the bedroom.0:57
She was a good player.1:00
She knew what to do to make the right note come out at the right time.1:01
Carol had a pet, a cat, Pussy by name.1:06
They took walks together and climbed trees in the woods together.1:10
But when Carol played, Pussy slept on the bed.1:15
Carol and Pussy tried to share as many things as they could.1:19
In fact, Pussy was never out of Carol's sight.1:23
Carol's brother Sam, had the best place to practise.1:28
He was fortunate to play in the living room because he was the family piano player and the piano stood in the living room.1:33
Sam was always playing one thing or another.1:41
Sometimes he played from printed music, sometimes he played things that he made up himself.1:45
He was a handy boy and could repair almost any music instrument.1:51
In the evenings and on weekends, Carol's father practised playing the bagpipes downstairs in the hall.1:57
The mother was a singer.2:05
She had a lovely light voice.2:07
Mrs. Parker, fortunately, could practise all through the day.2:11
She sang one song when she was watering the plants and another song while she was cooking dinner.2:15
Carol loved her cooking and so did Pussy.2:22
After dinner, the Parkers gathered around the piano with their chairs and their music stands.2:27
It was the time of day that no one wanted to miss.2:33
The Parker family played together.2:37
The noble sounds of beautiful tunes filled the room and spread all over the village.2:40
And that gave their neighbours a chance to enjoy their concerts.2:47
