8. The Song I Sing Only When You Are Not Here
Panda woke up from her nap to find that the sun had already finished setting. She suddenly remembered there was an old piano in her favourite part of the forest. "Music heals the heart," she thought, "I'll take the long route home and play for a while." Dino had fallen asleep and only awoke to the sound of Panda rustling through the trees. He quickly got to his feet, checked that the red balloon was still tied securely to his wrist, and hurried to catch up with Panda.
Have you experienced this before? Sometimes when your heart is full of words but you don't know how to string them into coherent sentences, a song suddenly comes to mind. After singing her song, Panda will feel a little better. Her voice reached Dino's ears and made him stop in his tracks. Dino's heart suddenly felt as though it had been pierced by a pin. His heart was racing really fast too! His mommy must have been wrong - this couldn't be normal! Dino sat down and listened to Panda's sweet voice. It was the first time he heard her sing, and it was such a sad little song.
"Why is Panda so sad?" Suddenly the music stopped and Dino got up just in time to see his friend slipping away again. "Where is she off to now," he wondered. There's only one way to find out! Off Dino went, following his dear friend into the trees.
