Once there was a very noisy birthday party. The children were screaming and running around. They were driving all the adults mad, so one of the adults thought of an idea.
"Let's eat, "she said."
"Great idea," said another adult and called all the kids to the table and got the food. Just when the adults thought they were going to get some peace and quiet all the kids started talking, shouting, chewing loudly and blowing into their drinks with straws. After they ate the cake which, by the way, was now everywhere;
"Musical Chairs!" yelled one of the kids.
"Yeah," shouted the rest. All the adults were blocking their ears. Well, musical chairs did not work because one of the little boys tripped over a chair leg and fell over. So they had to think about another game instead.
"Musical Statues!" yelled a little girl. It did not work because when the music stopped somebody was standing on one foot so they fell face first onto the floor. So now they had to think of another game.
"I know," said a shy girl, "Let's play Pass the Parcel." So the adults got some old newspapers and some prizes and in no time the kids were playing Pass the Parcel and all the adults thought it was a great game because nobody got hurt, it was fun for the kids and it was quiet.
"Thank goodness for that little girl," said one of the adults quietly. So there you go; a very noisy party turned into a nice quiet party. That was of course until they got bored.
