He loves tap dancing, and he used to do it only in front of 2 mice, who were like his pets. During after-school hours, he used to help the janitor to clean and this was also his chance to practice his dream of dancing. However, the school principal, one day, calls him to the office and asks him to be part of the talent show as she was impressed seeing his dance skills.
