Doo-wop and Mmm-bop were walking through the woods when they heard a song coming from within the forest. "Hey," said Mmm-bop. "Is that the Hanson Brothers playing?" "Yeah, I think it is!" exclaimed Doo-wop. So they trekked into the center of the timberland and found out that the Hanson Brothers were playing a private concert for a bunch of old ladies. "Cool," Mmm-bop said. "Free seats."

Part II
Heidi had just gotten rid of her old, rusty bicycle. She threw it just outside her door. It was a rainy day and mud was everywhere. She woke up the next morning and found the weather to be sunny and dry. She opened the front door and saw a neat-looking brown bike outside. You see, the fad at school was brown bikes. So she accepted the gift wondering who left it for her. What happened?
(Hint: look for a simple answer)
