Once upon a time there was a girl named Lala and she loved to sing but she could only sing her name, Lala. One day she went to her school theater and she heard a voice say, "Hello, I am your announcer Billy...Bob...Joe... and I will be randomly picking who will sing a solo at the Boom Elementary music fest." "Yay!" "Woo!" "I'm gonna sing a solo" clap clap clap! Cheer cheer cheer! She decided she would go in. She didn't want to sing the solo, but she decided her chances were so low she would not get chosen. Soon Billy...Bob...Joe... said, "Now."He closed his eye. "How about..." he pointed his finger and moved it around, "YOU!" His finger landed on Lala. Lala was speechless. She meant to say no, but all that came out was "Wow." She now realized that everyone was looking at her. The script was brought to her. When she got home she went straight to her room. She didn't even glance at the script, and she cried. "I can't sing the solo if I can sing my name!" Soon two fairies appeared, and they said "Hello Lala, we know your problem, and we know how to fix it too. You see your voice is at the top of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world."
Lala got up straight away, walked down the stairs and told her mom, "Mom, I'm going to climb Mount Everest!" Her mom said, "OK! Wait, did you say you were going to climb Mount Everest?" But Lala was already out the door. Lala got on an air plane and went to Mount Everest. When she got there she started to climb, and climb, and CLIMB. When she got to the top, she saw a team of insects, and they said, "Hello Lala, we know what you are looking for and we have it right here." They stepped to the side to reveal ice cream in an ice cream cone. The team of insects said "Eat it!" So Lala ate it. And soon she had her singing voice again. She got back on the airplane and flew back home. She sang the whole way there. When she got there she looked at her script she would sing at the Boom Elementary Music Fest. And it said, "La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la."
