Mr. Smith had a 8-year-old son named Tony, who enjoyed listen to music very much. So he bought a piano to Tony, hoping that he can become a famous pianist one day. The little boy put her heart into practising the piano day after day and seemed to enjoy every minute of it. Therefore, half a year later, he told his father that he was tiring of practising the piano. Hearing this, Mr. Smith said, “Tony, it is one thing to be fond listening to music, but it is another thing to perform good by yourself. You can never play the piano well even if you don’t practise more.”
