The Best Violinist

The Best Violinist

   A free one-man violin show was held in downtown. People would do anything to see a free show, even if it was a bad one. An infamous violinist was playing his music. There was many people in the show, but no one enjoyed the music since the man was a newcomer musician so, many of them left the show. Late at three o’clock in the afternoon, a school boy who passed by stopped to listen to him. He looked very sad with tears in his eyes. The man was quite pleased.

   “What makes you so sad, boy?” asked the man after the show. “Is it my music that makes you cry?”
   “Oh! Yes, your music makes me think of my father who died some time ago.” answered the boy.
   “Was your father also a musician?” asked the man again.
   “No, he was a wood sawyer. When he was alive, he used to saw wood. While he was sawing wood, I could hear the sound just like the music that you have played.”
