　　Bongos was a happy， artistic girl． She had one big ambition to play the drums in a band．But one big obstacle lay in her way．To be good enough to play in a band， Brenda had to practice a lot， but she lived next - door to a lot of old people．Many of them are sick．She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves．So， she had tried playing in the strangest places： a basement， a kitchen， and even in a shower． But there was always someone it would annoy．

　　One day， while watching a science documentary on TV， she heard that sound cannot travel in space， because there’s no air．At that moment， Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut．

　　With the help of a lot of time， books and work， Brenda built a space bubble．This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside． All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair． Brenda got into the space suit she had made， entered the bubble， turned on the machine， and played those drums like a wild child．
