\nSoft and Loud Excerpt:
\nIt was a bright weekend morning on Ahway Island. Sunlight streamed through the leaves on the trees as a trio of sparrows flitted through the neighborhood. In the cheerful Olsen-Mueller house, Clara Clarinet was resting quietly in her cozy case that sat on the bookshelf in Lisa\u2019s room. Clara had been given to Lisa on Lisa\u2019s last birthday, and Clara loved when Lisa made music with her.
\n
\nThe house had been silent for quite some time, and the peacefulness had lulled Clara to sleep.\xa0 From her slumber, Clara heard footsteps and noises in the other room, and she instantly popped awake. A pair of familiar footsteps that Clara recognized became louder, and Clara knew that Lisa was nearby!
