“Wanted: Violin. Can’t pay much. Call…”

16 , I couldn’t wait any longer to ask. “Daddy, may I have a violin of
17 ?” Daddy’s face looked
18 . But a few weeks later, Daddy went home, with a case in his hand,
19 ,“Mary, I found this secondhand violin for seven dollars.”
The day when I carried my violin to school for my first lesson , no one could know how
20 I was. I practiced, joined the school orchestra(管弦樂隊(duì)), gave performances……Several years seemed to run even quickly and I found myself in the first violin chair. More years
21 , and my violin made every move with me, until one day, I carefully
22 it away.
Now here
23 this want advertisement, I discovered the case deep in my closet（儲(chǔ)藏室）. I put it on the table. Then I picked up the

Later in the day, a man of about 30 knocked at the door. “I’ve been expecting someone would

I said, “Seven dollars.” “Are you sure?” he asked,
28 he did not believe his ears. “Seven dollars.” I
29 and then added,” I hope your little girl will enjoy it
30 I did.”
I smiled, but I found my tears(眼淚) rolling down my face.
