Duke and his Flute

Duke loved playing his new flute. He played at
ū
the barbecue, on the cruise, and in his new suit.
“Put that flute away,” said mom. “Do not refuse, and
do not argue.” Duke put his flute in the freezer.
Soon the flute became an ice cube. Duke could no
longer make music. Duke had a plan. He went to his
room and grabbed his broom. Then, he used the end
of the broom to crack the cube. Finally, Duke could
play a tune. “Oh, no!” said mom. Put that flute away.
