NAME:

the minx

He was once a very sensitive young crab. He had a great artistic vocation. The problem is, he didn't know where to apply his talents. He tried everything. Painting, sculpture in the sand and even writing verses by the sea.
Unfortunately, its clumsy claws could not hold either a brush or a pen. So the Siri decided to try the song. He thought he could play any instrument. He started with the guitar. His tongs tangled in the ropes. He tried the piano. He didn't reach the keyboard. When he dropped the trombone, he had a genius idea. He found out that he was born to play the harmonica. The two little paws held the instrument right in front of her mouth.

It was such a success that he even changed his name. It became Minx. He became a great concert performer and has played in many countries around the world, including Syria and Sirilanca. He became so famous that he ended up marrying a talented opera singer named Siriema. The two form a beautiful couple, who perform in sensational duets. Siri with the harmonica and Siriema with the gogó. Both well tuned to the SI note.
