Today was a particularly nice day, all things considered. The weather seemed to absolutely perfect, the sunshine and blue skies helping to brighten up most everyone's day. Nathaniel would've taken the time to enjoy such a nice day if it wasn't for the fact that he was missing a very important item.
A tiny little instrument, put together with wood and little metal pieces that served as keys. Most people probably wouldn't even recognize it as an instrument, they might just see it as a toy. Whatever the case, the Super High School Level Kalimba Player was missing his kalimba. He couldn't remember if he'd left it somewhere or if maybe someone took it for some reason. It was true though that he had more than one of the small, handheld instruments, but they were being kept safely back home in New York. Which was... Far away. Maybe he should've listened to his mother instead of insisting that he only needed to bring his most favorite one overseas to school with him.
But now he had to find it, wherever it was. So the small boy set off in search of his instrument, but... After searching the school grounds for two hours and turning up nothing, he was beginning to feel a bit down. The school was big though, there were lots of other places to look; but it was pretty exhausting. After walking outside, Nathaniel breathed out a less than hopeful sigh as he sat down on a nearby bench, deciding to take a break. Maybe... Maybe someone else had seen it. He hadn't really tried asking anyone yet, so maybe he should. As luck would have it, someone soon began to walk past. The disappointed boy quickly put on a smile.
"Ah, um, hello!! You wouldn't happen to have seen a kalimba around?"
