This is the story of Robby.
There was a young boy who lived with his
elderly
Mother. His mother wanted him to learn how to play the piano because
she
Longed to hear her son play for her. She sent her son to a piano teacher
who
Took Robby in under her guidance .However, there was one small
problem
Because Robby was not musically inclined and therefore was very slow
in
Learning.The teacher did not have much faith in the boy because of
his
Weakness. The mother was very enthusiastic and every week she would
send
Robby to the teacher.
One day Robby stopped attending the piano
lessons. The teacher thought that He had given up and in fact she was quite
pleased since she did not give Much hope to Robby. Not long after, the piano
teacher was given the task to
Organize a piano concert in town. She sent out
circulars to invite the
Students and public to attend the event.Suddenly, she
received a call from
Robby who offered to take part in the concert. The
teacher told Robby that
He was not good enough and that he was no longer a
student since he had
Stopped coming for lessons.Robby begged her to give him
a chance and
Promised that he would not let her down.
Finally, she gave in
and she put him to play last, hoping that he will
Change his mind at the last
minute. When the big day came, the hall was
Packed and the children gave
their best performance. Finally, It was Robby's
Turn to play and as his name
was announced, he walked in. He was not in
Proper attire and his hair was not
properly groomed.The teacher was really Nervous since Robby's performance could
spoil the whole evening's brilliant Performance.
As Robby started playing the
crowd became silent and was amazed
At the skill of this little boy. In fact,
he gave the best performance of
The evening. At the end of his presentation
the crowd and the piano teacher
Gave him a standing ovation. The crowd asked
Robby how he managed to play so Brilliantly.
With a microphone in front of
him, he said, "I was not able to
Attend the weekly piano lessons as there was
no one to send me because my
Mother was sick with cancer. She just passed
away this morning and I wanted Her to hear me play. You see, this is the first
time she is able to hear me Play because when she was alive she was deaf and now
I know she is listening To me. I have to play my best for her!"
