Serena was studying in an
international primary school. She was an
ordinary but hardworking girl. However,
there was one thing which made her different from others. She had got only four fingers on her left
hand.
At the age of eight, Serena
watched a music concert. While she was listening to the piano playing, she fell
in love with the music. Surprisingly,
when Maria, who was the performer, stood up and bowed to the audience, Serena
discovered that Maria shared the same problem with her – She’d also got four
fingers on her left hand.
After the concert, Serena
decided to learn the piano. Her parents
saw her determination and supported her.
However, some of her classmates laughed at her and said, “Don’t be silly!
How can you learn to play the piano? You
miss one finger and you’ll never play well! It’s better to throw the money into
the sea…hahaha”
In the school, Chloe was Serena’s best
friend. After knowing that Serena wanted to learn the piano, she showed her
great support. “Don’t be frustrated! Just forget what people say. I’m always on your side!” Chloe said.
Serena was encouraged by
Chloe and started her piano lessons at once.
She practiced very hard and spent over 4 hours in practicing the piano
every day. She made quick improvement in the playing skills.
After a few years, Serena
attended an international music competition and she was the champion. This shocked many people at that time because
of her physical imperfection.
After many years, Serena
became a successful pianist in the world and many people appreciated her
talents and perseverance. She became the encouragement of many handicapped
people.
