Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this from a musical soul.
The other day I was feeling quite______, having just been laid off from my job. With so many______to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.
I got off the bus when I heard piano music and______rising above the noise of the traffic. I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the______I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.
She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice______me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take______to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know.
She might have felt my______for she occasionally looked in my direction.By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked______and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
I asked her______, “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”
She explained to me that she sees so many______people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by______motivational music.
Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a______time lately, but you’ve made me______again.”
“I’m happy that I could be______to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
I told her my story and said, “I’m not so______about what to do….”
“You see, here’s the______,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Don’t look defeated, because______comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should______more… lift your head up.”
I was really______by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.
So______in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.
