Final answer:
The question seems to refer to the novel 'Bud, Not Buddy' but there is no event where Bud's friend in the band gives him anything to carry his keepsakes. Bud uses his own suitcase inherited from his mother to carry his belongings in the story.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question is related to the novel Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. In the story, however, there is no mention of Bud's best friend in the band giving him anything to carry his keepsakes. It's possible that this question has mixed up details from the novel. In Bud, Not Buddy, Bud does secure a way to transport his important items, but this is not from a band member. He uses a suitcase throughout the story which he treasures because it belonged to his mother. There isn't a mention of his bandmate giving him a suitcase, duffle bag, bookbag, or an old saxophone case specifically for this purpose.
