Ruby: Ah, my flowers smell as pretty as they look. I wonder who that could be.

Grandma: Perfect! I'll be over in two shakes of a bunny's tail.

Ruby: That sounds like Grandma. Hi, Grandma!

Grandma: Hello, Ruby. Max and I just had a wonderful idea.

Ruby: You did?

Grandma: Oh yes. We think today is a perfect day for a recital.

Ruby: A recital? I'm not ready for a recital. I've been gardening all morning. Wouldn't you rather come and see my pretty flowers?

Grandma: Well, why don't we do both? We can have a recital outside in the garden.

Ruby: An outdoors recital?

Grandma: Yes. I love the sound of music outdoors. Don't you, Ruby?

Ruby: Uh, yes, Grandma. That sounds perfect.

Grandma: It sure does! I'll be over soon. Bye, Ruby.

Ruby: Bye, Grandma. We better get ready for the recital, Max. Grandma will be here soon. We both have to find instruments we can play outside.

Max: Water?

Ruby: You want a glass of water, Max? Okay. There you go. A nice big glass of--

Max: Water.

Ruby: Max, don't forget about finding an instrument. Hmmm... I can't play the piano outside. Too big. Hmmm, I know it's here somewhere. Oh! There it is. I'll bet one of these musical instruments will be perfect. An accordion! Ohhh. That doesn't sound very good. Oh! You're not supposed to be in there. I'll have to find something else to play.

Max: Water?

Ruby: You finished your water already? You must be a very thirsty bunny. Where'd your glass go? Okay. I'll get you a new glass. Here you go. Now I have to find my instrument. And so do you, Max.

Max: Water!

Ruby: You're welcome. I better hurry. Grandma will be here soon. Maybe Grandma would like to hear a song on the ukulele. Huh? That doesn't sound right. Oh no! One of the strings is broken! Maybe there's another string in here somewhere.

Max: Water?

Ruby: Another glass of water? If you're not careful, Max, you'll float away. Now where's your glass? Okay, then. Here's a new glass. Try to keep an eye on this one, okay? Max, don't you want to play an instrument in our outside recital? I better find an instrument to play or I won't have time to practice. Hmmm. I could play the drum. No. Maybe the maracas? No. A xylophone! Perfect. Now all I need are some mallets. Here they are. Now I can practice. Maybe I could play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Let's see. How does it go?

Max: Water.

Ruby: More water, Max? You're awfully thirsty today. I'm pouring you two glasses of water, Max. That way, when you finish one glass of water, you'll have another one right there. And then I'll have time to practice my song on the xylophone before Grandma gets here.

Max: Water.

Ruby: Where did my mallets go? I'm sure I put them right here. I can't play the xylophone without mallets! Now I have to find another instrument. Maybe the saxophone kazoo?

Grandma: Yoo-hoo! Ruby!

Ruby: Oh no! Grandma's here! Coming, Grandma.

Grandma: Ruby dear, are you ready for the recital?

Ruby: Not really. This is all I can find to play for the recital.

Grandma: Oh, Ruby! I wasn't expecting you to perform for me. Max and I are going to perform an outdoor recital for you.

Ruby: Really? But what instruments are you going to play?

Grandma: Ah, you'll see. Max has something very special planned. Come on, let's go outside and find out. Good work, Max, that's just the way I told you to set them up.

Max: Water!

Ruby: So that's where your water glasses went. And my mallets.

Grandma: Max and I are going to play a recital on water glasses.

Ruby: You're going to play glasses of water?

Grandma: That's right. Each glass makes a different note when you tap it with a mallet. It all depends how much water is in the glass.

Ruby: It's kind of like a xylophone!

Grandma: That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, today we celebrate Ruby's beautiful flower garden with a special outdoor performance.

Ruby: Bravo, bravo! That was amazing! What a beautiful outdoor recital! And all it took was mallets, glasses, and--

Max: Water!
