Mr. Plumbottom's Harp

One day Sarah was bored, so she decided to play her guitar. So Mr. Plumbottom listened. He decided that he wanted to play a musical instrument too. After a minute he finally decided that he wanted to take   harp lessons. So he signed up. They were very expensive, but
Mr. Plumbottom thought that they were worth it. Plus which, he had a pirate ship filled with gold. After his first lesson, though, he realized that the songs he was assigned to play were all too hard and the teacher was too strict. So he quit lessons. Suddenly, he remembered his friend Macy. She was only a tiny girl at the age of five, but she was amazingly good at playing the harp. She could even teach Mr. Plumbottom how. "Why didn't I think of that before?!" he exclaimed out loud to himself. So as soon as he called Macy (the answer was yes), he ran to her house as fast as his fat little legs could carry him. He had a great time, and after he had taken ten long but fun lessons, he was as good as a nautral!!!!!!! On his sixty-first birthday, Macy gave him his VERY OWN HARP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
