She loved to waltz but her unidentified partner picked up so much speed that she spun away and he unfortunately whizzed away clear into the next village!

It was being played by someone who actually did know how to play it.
But, unfortunately, it was a tune she hated.

The story went awry as the people didn't read the instructions. But, fortunately....
