By Adam G. Ramet

You simply _have_ to go and see this episode of "Wind in the Willows",
"Piano-Roll Toad," where Toad inherits a pianola:

 [ "Piano-Roll Toad -- Toad invites everyone to his piano recital.
 [ The only problem is, he doesn't know how to play.  The peddling
 [ required to make the piano play itself is too exhausting, so Toad
 [ successfully rigs up his old bicycle to power the piano and employs
 [ Billy Rabbit to secretly peddle it.  Toad's friends are amazed at
 [ how well he can play, but the weasels also want a turn at peddling..."
