It is nearly time for the bull parade. Bop is excited to learn the steps.
'Watch what we do and follow along,' says his big brother.
Bop has to bend his knees and his wrists.
But he keeps getting it wrong. He can't seem to bend the way the other bulls do.
Bop wrestles with his body, trying to get it to do what he wants. He needs to dance like the other bulls in the parade.
'Don't worry,' says his big brother. 'I had to learn it once too. You will get it.'
When the bulls are in a line, Bop wrecks it by tripping on his own feet.
'It just takes time to learn it. Keep practising,' says his brother.
'Listen to the music and move your body to the beat,' says big brother bull.
And when Bop listens carefully, he can hear the beat and feel how his body is supposed to move.
When the bull parade arrives, Bop is the best dancer of the group. He listens to the beat and moves his body in time.
'See I knew you would get it,' his big brother says as Bop taps and bends to the music.
