I was feeling a little blue because my mother had lost her job.

One day, while I was 1.(walk) on the street, I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly to find out where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady 2.(sit) at a piano.

She was singing songs about love. The way she was singing made me a little comfortable. I 3.(stand) there quietly, watching her playing on such a crowded New York square. I thought that she must be brave enough to perform in front of so many people.

She noticed me. I walked over and told her how good her music sounded. “Thank you.” she said.

“I have been going through a hard time recently, but you’ve made me hopeful again.” I said to her.

“I’m glad that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”

“Well, my mum 4.(lose) her job, and I’m not so sure what to do ...”

“Did you notice the way you were walking? Your head was down.” she said. “Don’t be upset, because chance 5.(come) in different ways and if your head is down, you might not see it. You should smile more. 6.(lift) your head up.”

I looked at her, amazed at how she was encouraging me. “Why are you 7.(play) the piano here?” I asked her with a smile.

She explained that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried 8.(cheer) up by playing music.

I smiled a little wider, realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on.
