The Conn instrument factory was on fire, and only one person could save the town.... Hurry, Dale! You have no time to spare! Grandpa warned as Dale hopped on his bike. He put the bugle to his lips, but nothing came out. Remember what you have been taught, Grandpa advised. Dale licked his lips and tried again. This time the Fire Call came out loud and clear. The sound echoed across the valley. Grandpa shouted, Now ride to each corner and play it as loud as you can. This is going to be your most important performance ever!
