I walked to Mrs.Windsor's house as I always did when I heard the piano.Before ringing the bell，I stood against the wall and sighed sadly.I daydreamed what I'd rather be doing.I had been tutored enough to read，understand，and even write some musical compositions，but I just didn't have a gift for it.But Mrs.Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free，so I felt it my duty to try.
The door opened.I walked in，sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music.Today Mrs.Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me.With a smile，Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench，opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play.I arranged my fingers on the keys.Then I frowned （皺眉） and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I had to admit I was a rather mechanical pianist.
After about a page or two，Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers.There was a long pause. "Jennifer，what are you hearing in the music？" I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn't know what she meant.
"Here，let me try and you listen，" Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath，letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys.Then，she began to play.
"See，it begins here beside some kind of river.Hear the water flowing beside you？"
Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. "Now the princess appears and she's picking flowers from the water's edge." A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha's dancing fingers. "Oh，but she slips!" The music changed. "And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream.Quickly，the princess' horse sees her plight （困境） and races to the river's edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him.Luckily，they make it to the bank and she hugs her faithful horse." Pasha finished with a big smile and then looked at me.
I was delighted and advised to try another one.Pasha smiled and together we played many pieces of music that afternoon，finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.
