“What do you mean，Charlie？Don't you think the students like watching our news show and about the important events of the day？”Mrs．Barnes said jokingly．“Sure，”Charlie answered．“I'm just looking for a little something more to add to our program，”he said.
Charlie was what his mother called an“experimenter”．He was， trying to find a new way of doing something，and today Charlie wanted to think of how to really up the school with the morning news.
As Charlie walked, he hummed（哼唱）the school song. His friend Jenny met him in the hallway and，without a word，she too began humming. By the time they reached the classroom door，another girl，Lily，had them and started singing their happy song.
