The Musician, the Museum, the Vacuum Cleaner and the Traffic Jam

There was once a musician named Miciann. Miciann was 10 years old and lived in No-Vacuum-Cleaners-Allowed. The locals refer to the city as NVCA. The name of the city is very misleading as everyone rides or drives vacuum cleaners everywhere they go. Miciann played the flute and the harmonica, at the same time, this feat made her very famous. The new art museum asked her to play at the Children's Day to promote young musicians. She was riding her vacuum cleaner to the museum she got caught in a traffic jam. Usually there aren't any because of the vacuum's ability to avoid traffic, so this traffic jam was very unusual. The traffic jam was made up of cars something that was banned in NVCA and something Miciann had never seen before. She was fascinated by the cars, the limo most of all, and was not watching where she was going. She ended up lying under the limo…dead. The museum soon had hundreds of children signing up to play an instrument in Miciann's memory. As for Miciann, well she is now in a band called Up Top.
