I was feeling a little blue because my mother had been laid off from her job and she had lots of bills to pay. It left me wondering what was going to happen to us now.
I got off the college shuttle bus and started walking. That’s 36 I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people and the traffic. I walked a little slower so that I could 37 where it was ing from. 38 the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a carriage next to her. She was singing songs about love, keeping on trying, and not underestimating (低估) the power within yourself. The way she was singing 39 me a bit. I stood there watching her play for about fifteen minutes, thinking that it must 40 to perform alone in the middle of a crowded place.
She must have felt my 41 because she would 42 look in my direction. Then I walked over and put some 43 in her carriage and she said, “Thank you”. Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been 44 a rough time lately, but you’ve made me 45 again.”
“I’m happy that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
“Well, my mum told me she had got 46 from her job, and that made me sad. I’m not so sure what to do …”
“You see, here’s the problem,” she explained. “While you were 47 , your head was down. Don’t look 48 , because 49 es in different ways and if your head were down, you might lose it.”
She also explained to me that she saw a lot of 50 people in the world and she tried to bring more 51 by sharing motivational (鼓舞人心的) music. She told me that when she wasn’t making music she studied 52 . So, that was how she knew some of the things she was telling me.
I 53 a little wider because I knew that she was doing a good thing. So, after we 54, my heart was 55 and lightened by a musical soul!
