Woolly Says Sorry and Starts the Song Again
A jump-kick arrived early. A kind apology made the next start even better.
Read aloud: Woolly started a song too soon. He said sorry, waited for Thunder’s count, and the band began again together.
Thunder Beats raised both sticks and looked around the rehearsal barn. He was not ready to bring them down yet. Woolly Riff, already mid-air for a jump-kick, landed on a note that belonged to a different moment.
Daisy Stardust smiled, not to tease him, but to keep the room kind. Woolly put his hooves down, took a breath, and said, “Sorry. I jumped in early.” Thunder nodded. “That is all right. We will count it in again.”
The second start was clean. The third start was even clearer. Henny Keys held the place in the music with a patient chord. Billy Baa did not hurry. This was only a rehearsal, and rehearsal is a safe place to try, to apologise, and to begin again. When the song was ready, it felt proud of everyone in it.
