B
One day, I found a box in a corner. When I opened it, I saw a beautiful violin. “It is your dad’s, ” Mom said. “Your grandparents bought it for him when he was eight. But he was too busy on the farm to learn to play it. ”
On my eighth birthday, Dad bought me an accordion ( 手风琴) and said excitedly, “Once you learn to play it, it’ll stay with you for life. ” I just wanted to play games with other boys outside , so I didn’t want to play it. But Dad asked me to take accordion lessons.
Because of my dad, I had to practice playing the accordion for half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. But Dad didn’t allow. I asked why. He answered, “Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts. ” Then he added softly, “Some day you’ll have the chance I’ve never had — you can play beautiful music for your family. And you’ll understand why you have to work so hard. ”
I didn’t have to take accordion lessons after I finished high school. A few years later, I got married and moved to a new house. I put the accordion in the attic ( 阁楼). One afternoon, my two children found the accordion accidentally, and they got very excited. “Dad, play it. Play it, ” they laughed and said. I started to play some simple songs. I was surprised that I could still remember them. Soon the kids began to dance. Even my wife smiled and clapped ( 拍手) to the music.
At that moment, my father’s words came back to me. I finally knew why Dad had asked me to practice hard. It was a pity that Dad had never learned to play the violin, so I told my family, “This is my father’s music. ”
