Piano Master


Charlie's mother wanted to encourage Charlie to take up piano. To inspire him, she took him to a piano concert by a world renown classical pianist. Sitting towards the front of the auditorium waiting for the concert to start, Charlie's mother excused herself to go to the bathroom. Restless and in his mother's absense, Charlie left his seat. Charlie wandered around looking for his mother, but instead made his way through a door marked "NO ADMTTANCE." When Charlie's mother returned to her seat, she was disturbed to find her son missing. She looked around but could not see him. She was about to go and search for him, when the concert began. The curtain was raised, and to her horror, there was her son Charlie on the stage innocently hammering out Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. The crowd was lost for a reaction. At that moment, the concert pianist entered the stage. He calmly went up to the boy and whispered, "Don't stop, you're doing well." And as the boy played, the concert pianist began to add a bass line with the left hand. As they continued, he added a runnig obligato with the right. Soon they were playing a most wonderful and musical version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and as they finished, and the boy was ushered back to his seat, the pianist announced, "Never let a disaster ruin anything!"
