The small planet of Groovathon, located in the Mica Galaxy, was really named right. Everything there was groovy. The inhabitants there dressed in groovy bellbottoms, with groovy tie-died shirts and funky animal skin vests. There shoes were groovy platform shoes. Groovy!!

The nanny at the home of the Smithafunk's dressed baby Bell in his tiny leather vest and diaper. Poor baby Bell. No platform shoes for any one on Groovathon unless they could walk and Bell was just learning to crawl.

Bottom, the other Smithafunk child, grabbed her books off the table and went out to catch the bus. Buses on Groovathon were really painted in groovy colors.

As she glanced out the window in the kitchen, she saw the small Oakafunk tree at the corner of the property. It was one of the last three trees on Groovathon. Because of the wood shortage, no wood items would be wasted. So, when the bottoms of their wood bowls wore out they were replaced with animal skins.

Nanny Platform managed to scoop up Bell just before he took his first bite of groovacat food. "What a naughty boy you are being today. Why don't you play with your toys." Platform put him down in front of a pile of old dishes that bottoms had been replaced with cow skin.

The small child began to beat the bottom of the cow skin bowl and the nanny was awed by the sound. She called all the neighbors to come listen and it was a hit. "Groovy!! Funky!!" Everyone was amazed. The cow skin drum can now be heard all over Groovathon and everybody there thinks it's the Grooviest instrument around!!
