Adam gets the audition music for the piano, from the school’s music teacher and has a short time to prepare for the audition.
Everybody who plays an instrument, wants to be in the orchestra and so they practice, and practice, and practice for their audition. But on the weekend
before Adam’s scheduled audition on Monday morning, he gets ill and misses his audition. Two students are chosen for the piano, one is to be the alternate, and rehearsals begin.
But a lot is going on to prepare for his school’s customary year-end festivities, taking place the last week of school: the winter concert on Tuesday, the play on Wednesday, and the orchestral debut in a dress rehearsal on Thursday, school is closed on Friday, plus the school has started a gigantic fundraiser to help with expenses for the Year of the Child gala.

It is the last day of school before the Christmas vacation, and the first dress rehearsal, but at this first dress rehearsal the two students chosen for the piano, fail to perform their best and the dress rehearsal comes to a screeching halt.
Without a reliable pianist, the gala seems unlikely for these two schools. Can the Principal fi nd a suitable replacement that can play without fear of the crowd and the pressures of performing, someone who can take them to the Gala!

Next, in a TWINKLING OF AN EYE, we are a witness with the ravens and a lone cardinal to one of those old time negotiations for a better life. After the ink is dry on the contract, we then take a visit to a Library of the Future as a student requests THE DOCTOR CLARK FILES. She is working up a thesis on the taboo deviant sexual behavior of certain members of Academia in the Twentieth Century. Before the authorities arrive, we find ourselves invited inside the mind of a lady architect killing time doing a puzzle in HOLY CROSSWORD DOROTHY. Just before she steps forward onto the stage, we head back to the vacant offices of Infinitex Enterprises. Here, even farther into the future, we discover the many faces of TACTILE UNDERSTANDING.
Better than halfway through, we find ourselves taking notes and dodging bullets. That is, before we spot the torn flyer requesting our presence at the grand opening of the TECHTOWN BOOK CLUB. We barely close the book on this event, when we grow increasingly alert to a rising din out there in the streets. We are startled to realize it can only be from the nearby LAND OF A THOUSAND CRIES. Now back to the future we go, leaving the screams of the past to die in the vacuum while we conduct a further learned study about the state of SEX EDUCATION. After being thoroughly briefed, regarding our study materials and classroom requirements, we then find ourselves in the Math Clinic hiding Internet Porn from the tutors as we are SOLVING FOR ‘X’.
Finally, with all this said and done, it is time to return our ticket stub to the Parking Attendant, after affixing our SPIRITUAL SIGNATURE to these TALES TIMES TEN…
