Plot[edit | edit source]
The story is set in a small Italian village where a young girl named Tippy is about to drop a coin into a fountain to make a wish. However, she is interrupted by a street performer named Bass, who plays multiple instruments simultaneously, hoping to earn her coin. As Bass performs, another one-man band named Treble arrives and competes for Tippy's coin. The two musicians engage in a musical duel, each trying to outdo the other. In the end, Tippy accidentally drops her coin into a drain. Disappointed, she demands a violin from Treble and plays a beautiful melody, earning a bag of coins from a passing villager. She then tosses a single coin to each of the musicians and walks away.
