莎拉的音乐课与父亲的意外收获
Sarah asked her father if she could learn to play the violin. She was always asking for things and her father was not very happy. Sarah promised to practise every day and try very hard. Her father agreed to pay for her lessons for one and a half months, but at the end of one and a half months, she must play it for him. If she played well, she could have more lessons, but if she played badly, he would stop the lessons.
He soon found a good violin teacher and Sarah began her lessons. Soon, it was time for Sarah to play for her father. But she played very badly and made a terrible noise. Her father had one of his friends with him, and the friend put his hands over his ears. When Sarah finished, her father said, “Well done, Sarah. You can have more lessons.” Sarah ran happily out of the room. Her father’s friend turned to him and said, “You’ve spent a lot of money, but she still plays very badly.” Her father replied, “Well, that’s true, but since she started learning the violin, I’ve been able to buy five apartments in this building very cheaply. In another six weeks, I’ll own the whole building!”
