“Wanted: Violin. Can’t pay much. Call…”
That advertisement in the newspaper made me remember my childhood. I, too, had wanted a violin, but we didn’t have the money. Even though times were
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), 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

24 , walked to the telephone and called by the
25 .
Later in the day, a man of about 30 knocked at the door. “I’ve been expecting someone would

27 ,”he said, examining my violin. “How much are you asking?”
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.
