A couple of years ago, I went to a lady's house to buy some vitamins. Upon entering the house, I 16that there was an electronic keyboard on a stand, leaning 17the wall. Being a piano music lover and 18 , I asked if the woman played. She nodded and added that she had been 19lessons--at age 54! I told her that it was very 20that she was pursuing (追求) her 21to play the piano.

Then she asked me the same question.

"I have been playing for 8 years now," I answered.

"Then you must play a song for me before you leave," she requested.

She then showed me to an old upright piano in the living room and asked me to play a song for her. I thought 26and decided to play David Lanz's "Return to the Heart", since she had so much passion for 27, and it was my soul-searching song.

I played the song to the best of my 28, and with my emotions pouring into it as possible. She loved it. 29I was about to step out of the door, I heard a weak voice calling out, "Young man!"

I turned around. And there was an old lady 30one little step at a time with the help of another woman. "I wanted to come out to 31you for the beautiful song that you played.
