In time with every squeak

A squeaky floor fan keeps a man awake, so Pi plays Twinkle, Twinkle in time with every squeak, swaying his head right along with the fan. The man reaches out with one foot and switches the fan off. Silence. Then Pi squeaks anyway, with his mouth, and scares himself. He can't stop.

Music: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (1761 French melody, public domain), own arrangement.
