So he decided to get some fresh air and see if that would help.
He took a bike ride and along the way met his friend Dolphin and asked if he had any ideas.
"What about a cat chorus?" suggested Dolphin.
"What about a cat chorus?" suggested Dolphin.
Olly did not think this was a very good idea and went to stand on his head to see if thoughts would come from his toes instead.
He found a book with an elephant on the front which looked interesting.
Unfortunately as the book was in Italian he didn't get very far. Being reminded of Italy he decided to knit with his favourite Italian yarn instead. His ball of yarn rolled away and found his lost toys however and that made him want to do some playing.
When Olly was tired of his cars he felt like doing some drawing. He drew a picture of an elephant marching and that suddenly struck a note in him.
He quickly went to his manuscript paper and began to write his tune.

What a lovely story and great imagination - well done Olly for not giving up hope and finding inspiration from books and drawing. Must try the head-standing position next time I need some help working something out. What a beautiful elephant too - did Gudrun make that?
What a great wee story ... a graphic novel next! Jamie is in to that. Funny ... that book with the elelphant reminds me of something? Waht's the author's name ... Masaun ... Saguam ... Gusayam? I read to to Grnadma ... she loved it!
I've always wanted to do a Duck story. This has given me inspiration.
Good luck with you duck story Jamie- look forward to reading it!
I think you might have started something here ...
