[00:08.99]It was Jimmy's birthday,and he was five years old.
[00:13.09]He got quite a lot of nice birthday presents from his family,and one of them was a beautiful big drum.
[00:19.96]"Who gave him that thing?"Jimmy's father said when he saw it.
[00:24.27]"His grandfather did."answered Jimmy's mother.
[00:27.66]"Oh,"said his father.
[00:29.78]Of course,Jimmy liked his drum very much.
[00:32.97]He made a terrible noise with it ,but his mother did not mind.
[00:36.96]His father was working during the day,and Jimmy was in bed when he got home in the evening,so he did not hear the noise.
[00:44.28]But one of the neighbours did not like the noise at all,so one morning a few days later,
[00:50.02]she took a sharp knife and went to Jimmy's house while he was hitting his drum.
[00:54.23]She said to him,"Hullo,Jimmy.
[00:56.87]Do you know,there's something very nice inside your drum.
[01:00.29]Here's a knife.Open the drum and let's find it."
