Episode 2:

He’d never felt so sad before-so sad and so alone.

Then he found a little clearing, and he looked up at the sky.

” The moon can be so beautiful, “he whispered with a sigh.

“Excuse me!” coughed a cricket who’d seen Gerald earlier on.

“But sometimes when you’re different you just need a different song.”

“Listen to the swaying grass and listen to the trees.”

“To me the sweetest music is those branches in the breeze.”

“So imagine that the lovely moon is playing just for you- “

“Everything makes music if you really want it to.”.

With that, the cricket smiled and picked up his violin.

Then Gerald felt his body do the most amazing thing.

His hooves had started shuffling, making circles on the ground.

His neck was gently swaying, and his tail was swishing round.

He threw his legs out sideways, and he swung them everywhere.

Then he did a backward somersault and leapt up in the air.

Gerald felt so wonderful his mouth was open wide.

“I am dancing! Yes, I’m dancing! I AM DANCING!” Gerald cried.

Then, one by one, each animal who’d been there at the dance arrived while Gerald boogied on and watched him,

quite entranced. They shouted, “It’s a miracle! We must be in a dream.”

“Gerald’s the best dancer that we’ve ever, ever seen!”

“How did you learn to dance like that? Please, Gerald, tell us how.”

But Gerald simply twirled around and finished with a bow.

Then he raised his head and looked up at the moon and stars above.

“We all can dance,” he said, “when we find music that we love.”
