Under the warm lamp, Rory set himself a tiny challenge: play four taps so clean that even the guitar on the wall would wiggle. Tap-tap, tap-tap! But after the last tap, a soft thump answered from behind the band poster.

Behind the poster, a loose corner knocked: thump, tap, thump, tap. Rory hurried back to his drums and copied it louder. The cymbal shimmered like a secret turning into sunshine. Soon the whole room seemed to bounce with him. If you peek at the poster, can you keep Rory’s shared mystery beat?
