Robby was 11 years old when his mother sent him to have his first piano lesson. I prefer that students
begin at an earlier age, but Robby said that it had always been his 1 dream to hear him play the piano.
2 I took him on as a student.
Although Robby tried very hard, he didn"t have a talent for 3 . However, he didn"t 4 and at the end
of each weekly lesson he"d always say:" My mom is going to 5 me play some day. " But it seemed 6 .
One day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. He told me that his mom had been 7 and unable to
take him to piano lessons, but he was 8 practicing. He asked if he could take part in my concert and I
agreed.
The night of the concert came. The high school gym was filled 9 parents, friends and relatives. The
concert was going well. Then, Robby 10 up on stage. He announced that he had chosen Mozart"s
Concerto No 21 in C Major. I didn"t get ready for what I heard next. His fingers danced on the
keys (琴键)….
He played so 11 that everyone clapped (鼓掌) excitedly. In tears, I ran up on stage. "Oh, Robby!
12 did you do it?"
"Well, Miss Hondorf... did you 13 I told you my mom was sick? Well, 14 she had cancer and
passed away this morning. And well... she was born deaf so tonight was the 15 time she heard me play.
I wanted to make it special." |

house was very old and ran down and the owner hardly ever came out. The boy"s parents told him to
stay away from the house, a lot of other neighborhoods children were told the same from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. "What do you want?" the old man said.
"Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and I was wondering if you would like to buy one." The old man
stared at the boy. The boy could see inside the old man"s house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace mantle. "Do you collect dogs?" the little boy asked. "Yes, I have many collections
in my house, they are my family here. They are all I have." The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it
seemed that he was a very lonely soul. Then the old man was ready to close the door and said,"No,
boy, I don"t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye."
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for
the old man being so alone in the big house. The boy went home and then had an idea. He knocked on
the door again and this time the old man came right to the door. "Boy, I thought I told you no magazines." "No, sir. But I want to give you a gift." The boy handed him the figurine and the man"s face lit up. "It"s a
Golden Retriever, and I have one at home, this is for you." The old man was simply stunned (受惊的);

Vicki agrees. “It"s true .You even have a certain kind of boyfriend or girlfriend! I think these "rules" are childish (幼稚的). But when you"re different, you feel like an outsider. And that"s hard.”
