Little Chubby Bear is a first-grader at a music school who loves singing. Wherever he goes, he brings his singing with him.

Little Chubby Bear is moving to a very tall building, living on the 100th floor.

When his grandparents heard how tall the building was, they asked, “Is there an elevator?” People assured them, “Don’t worry! There’s an elevator.”

The old couple smiled with satisfaction.

But Little Chubby Bear asked, “Are there stairs?”

The person thought it was strange and replied, “Of course there are stairs,” then paused and asked Little Chubby Bear, “Why, are you planning to climb 100 floors of stairs every day?”

Little Chubby Bear puffed out his chest and said, “Yes, of course I will!”

And he did as he said. Every day, he really climbed the stairs. At first, Little Chubby Bear found it very tiring. When he reached the 50th floor, he had to sit and rest at the stairwell. But he was determined to keep climbing the stairs because he wanted to lose weight. Every day, as he climbed the stairs, he looked at the steps like the keys of a piano, as if stepping on them would make sounds.

Thus, every day, Little Chubby Bear climbed the stairs as if he were stepping on piano keys, continuously singing, “Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti—”

Day by day, one day, Little Chubby Bear suddenly found that the stairs beneath his feet were indeed making piano sounds, “Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti—”

Little Chubby Bear told his friends in the building, Little Monkey, Little Dog, Little Cat, Little Mouse, and Little Turtle, about this amazing discovery.

Everyone started climbing the stairs together. The stairs made piano sounds under their feet. Little Chubby Bear thought, “I should compose a ‘Climbing the Stairs Song’ for everyone, so they can sing while climbing the stairs. It would be fun and not tiring.” He thought and thought, and one day, as he was going upstairs, he started composing—

“Do-Re-Mi, Do-Re-Mi,
Everyone climbs the stairs together,
Get started, get started,
Singing and going home.”

Ah, this song was really nice, just like the piano keys making tinkling sounds.

The stairs were accompanying Little Chubby Bear. The children, dogs, cats, mice, and turtles in the building all learned this song.

They climbed the stairs while singing, and no one wanted to take the elevator anymore.

The grandparents, uncles, and aunts in the building heard their singing and poked their heads out of their doors. “Oh, the singing is lovely, and the piano sounds from the stairs are also lovely.”

The grandparents, uncles, and aunts followed Little Chubby Bear and the others, singing and climbing the stairs.
