On the way to school, Vern stops by Gert’s home. He rings the bell by the huge fern. Where is Gert? Vern fans himself with a fern leaf while he waits. It is warm for May. Vern rings the bell again. There is Gert! Gert does not want to go to school. Gert isn’t sick, but she would like to stay home. Vern asks Gert, “Why do you want to stay home?” Gert tells Vern that her music teacher, Mister Kern, was mean to her at school the day before. “Mister Kern is stern, but he’s not mean,” states Vern. “What happened?” “Mister Kern wants me to sing all six verses of the ‘High in the Sky’ song in class by myself!” wails Gert. “How many verses do you know?” asks Vern. “I only know three verses, so I can’t go to school,” moans Gert. Vern is perplexed. “Why didn’t you ask me for help? I know all the verses to that song. I can teach you on the way to school.” Gert went to school with Vern. On the way, Vern and Gert sang the verses of the “High in the Sky” song over and over until Gert could sing all six verses.
