Romper, Stomper, and Boo
Story Synopsis:
Once there were three elephants who were the best of friends:
Romper, who was always in a hurry, Teacher plays Romper’s pattern on BX
Stomper, who made a lot of noise (You could always hear him coming), Stomper’s pattern
and Boo,who was so quiet, that he would come right up behind you without making a sound and then say
‘Boo!’ (which is how he got his name) Boo’s pattern
They loved to stand in the shade of their favorite tree.
One day, the monkeys and the birds started making a great commotion: Speech ostinato 1 (Monkeys)
three times; Speech ostinato 2 (Birds) three times
Well, the problem was that trappers had come into the jungle, not very far away, and the very thing they
wanted to trap was ELEPHANTS!
Romper, who was the oldest, decided to do something about that. Romper’s pattern
But he was in such a hurry, the trappers heard him coming and had a net ready to throw over him.
Glissando
When Romper did not come back, there was a great commotion in the trees. Ostinato 1; Ostinato 2
Stomper, who was next to the oldest, and by far the biggest, insisted that he should go and see what had
happened. Stomper’s pattern
But he made so much racket, the trappers heard him coming from a mile away and had the net ready!
Glissando
When Stomper did not return with Romper, there was an awful commotion in the trees Ostinato 1;
Ostinato 2
Boo, who was the youngest, and by no means the bravest, set out to find his friends, walking very softly,
in his usual, unusual way. Boo’s pattern He walked so carefully and quietly that no one heard him coming.
Boo’s pattern The trappers were sound asleep taking a nap to escape from the hot afternoon sun. He
used his trunk to open the cage door and let his friends out.
They smashed the cages and went happily home together traveling like Boo. Boo’s pattern
When they arrived back at their favorite tree, they told the birds and the monkeys what had happened,
and they all said together,
