The trombone
jerry stepped off the bus at the music school, and he mentally reviewed the correct trombone slide positions as he walked to room 10 at the end of the hall. he sat down at his chair in front of the music stand and smiled eagerly at nadine, his teacher, who gave him a strange look.
âwhereâs your trombone? â she asked.
âoh, no! â heâd left it on the bus! âwhatâll i do? â he asked, after explaining the situation to nadine.
âyouâll have to get it back, or your parents are out nine hundred dollars.â
âoh, no.â he clapped his hands to his face in despair.
she sent him home without a lesson. the bus ride back was pure agony. it reminded him of the previous bus, where the catastrophe had occurred. fortunately, this driver, to whom jerry confided his plight, advised him to call the bus companyâs lost and found. but it was six oâclock; the bus companyâs phone recording said that the lost and found closed at five.
the next day, jerryâs father drove him to the bus company office, andâthe trombone wasnât there. no one had turned it in.
âiâm an idiot,â jerry moaned, as his father drove him to the music school to meet his doom. âi never do anything right.â
âyouâre not an idiot, youâre a normal kid, and you do a million things right. now youâll never do this kind of thing again. if the trombone doesnât show up, weâll work out a way for you to pay for it over time.â
walking the corridor to room 10 beside his father, jerry felt like a pirate walking the plank. with a feeling of dread he opened the door. inside stood nadine, working the slide on a trombone but not putting the mouthpiece to her lips. waitâthe trombone had a familiar dent on the bell and a familiar little scratch on the mouthpiece. it was his!
âsomeone turned it in at the desk,â nadine smiled. âa passenger from your bus. goodness for honest people, huh? â
jerry sank into his seat with an immense sigh of relief, and vowed to himself that he would never do anything wrong again in his life.
