Rumi is a bear. He takes his first ballet lesson. He wants to spin like a top. He tries to turn, but he tips to one side.
“Go slowly,” says his teacher. “Look at one spot.”
Rumi takes a breath. He makes a slow turn. His feet stay under him!
“I did it!” he says.
A poem on the wall says: “Feet so light, What a sight!”
Rumi smiles. Tomorrow he will try again.
