The Slumber Trumpet

Alf Bergström

Composer Sam Toot works on making melodies for alarm clocks. One day, his neighbor Franz knocks on the door asking for Sam’s help. Can he please wake Pete the sleepyhead? Pete is supposed to serve the guests at the hotel breakfast every morning, but he always oversleeps.
Sam agrees to help and gets to work immediately, but none of his sounds can wake Pete up. Not the irritating ones, nor the catchy melodies. Nothing seems to work, so Sam enlists the help of Lena the plumber. Together, they build a mega trumpet of all the pipes in the hotel. But when they try it something completely unexpected happens…

A story about how sometimes what didn’t go as planned can turn out to be the best thing after all.
