Olympiad: music puzzles ★★★, sentence 3

Picture Ruby groaning, "I've practised this a million times and it still squeaks!" The million is hyperbole, so do not count it; the real clue is the squeak, which usually means blowing too hard or a gap under a finger.

Who acts: you, Ruby, I, sound, million, real clue · What happens: picture, groan, practise, squeak, be, not count · To what, where: hyperbole, sound, squeak · Speech: someone speaks here
