![]() ![]() ![]() He also receives a Lifesaving Medal for rescuing a drowning camper. Over the course of the summer, Louis plays taps, reveille, and mess call, and composes a love song for Serena. Louis convinces Sam to split one of his webbed feet with a razor blade, making "fingers" so that he can play more notes. He helps Louis find a position as camp bugler at Camp Kookooskoos, the boys' camp Sam attends. Sam suggests that Louis should get a job so he can pay the store for the trumpet and the damaged window. Instead of accompanying his family north where he might have to face Serena again, Louis visits Sam on his ranch and explains that he feels guilty about the stolen trumpet. ![]() By the time Louis learns to effectively play the trumpet, Serena has migrated north. The cob crashes through the window of a music store in Billings, Montana and steals a brass trumpet on a cord. Louis's father is aware that trumpeter swans are named after the human musical instrument and becomes determined to acquire a trumpet as a substitute "voice" for Louis. When Louis returns to the Red Rock Lakes, he falls in love with a young swan, Serena, but cannot attract her attention. Unfortunately, because the other swans cannot read, Louis is still lonely. Louis turns out to be a natural at reading and writing, and Sam buys him a portable blackboard and chalk so he can communicate. Sam takes his swan friend to school with him the next morning. Louis decides he should learn to read and write in order to communicate, and flies away from the refuge to visit Sam Beaver. At the end of summer, the swan family flies to the winter refuge, Red Rock Lakes in Montana. Louis's father promises to find a way for him to communicate. The adults grow increasingly concerned about Louis, worrying that he will not be able to find a mate if he cannot trumpet like all the other swans. The adult swans gradually realize that Louis is mute. The cygnets each chirp at Sam in greeting, except for the youngest who is named Louis and is unable to chirp but pulls Sam's shoelace instead. After the hatching of their cygnets, the cob proudly leads his brood to Sam to introduce them. After this incident, the swans begin to trust him. Sam chases the fox away, saving both the female and her eggs. One day while the pen steps away from her eggs to stretch her legs, a fox slips up behind her. The swans are worried when Sam Beaver, an 11-year-old boy on a camping trip with his father, begins coming to the lake every day to watch them the cob believes that human boys are dangerous. In Canada during the spring of 1968, the cob (the name for an adult male swan) and the pen (the name for an adult female swan), both trumpeter swans, build their summer nest on a small island in a pond. It tells the story of Louis (pronounced "LOO-ee" by the author in the audiobook, a reference to trumpeter Louis Armstrong, a point that is made explicit in the book), a trumpeter swan born without a voice who overcomes this difficulty by learning to play a trumpet in order to impress a beautiful swan named Serena.
