小提琴課
“爸爸,我能學拉小提琴嗎?”小莎拉問她的父親。她總是要東西,因此她爸爸很不高興。
“你花了我很多錢,莎拉,”他說,“開始你想學騎馬,然後想學跳舞,然後是游泳。現在又想學拉小提琴。”
“我會每天都拉的,爸爸,”莎拉說,“我會認真練的。”
“好吧,”她爸爸說。“下面是我要做的:我會為你付六個星期的小提琴課的錢,六個星期後你必須拉首曲子給我聽。如果你拉得很好,你可以繼續上小提琴課,要是你拉得很差,你就不要再學了。”
“行。爸爸,”莎拉說,“這很公平。”
他很快就找到了一個好的小提琴老師,莎拉就開始學拉提琴了。儘管學費很高,但她爸爸遵守了諾言。
六個星期很快就過去了。該莎拉拉提琴給爸爸聽了。
她走進起居室說:“我準備好拉提琴給你聽了。”
“好哇,莎拉,”她爸爸說。“開始吧。”
她開始拉了。她拉得很差,發出了可怕的嗓音。她爸爸身旁有位朋友,朋友用手捂著耳朵。
莎拉拉完一曲,她父親說:“拉得好,莎拉。你可以繼續學琴了。”
莎拉高興地跑出門去。她父親的朋友對他說:“你已經花了不少錢了,但她還是拉得很差。”
“噢,的確如此,”她爸爸說,“但自從她開始學小提琴,我就可以很便宜地買下這幢樓的五個公寓。再過六週,我就可以擁有整幢樓啦!”
