Story 21. Baseball or Piano?
My mom loves music.
She wants me to become a pianist.
But I like sports.
I play baseball every day after school.
Sometimes I stay out playing until it gets dark.
So when my mom signed me up for piano lessons, I was not happy.
Mom said I had to try the piano for one year.
I went to the first lesson.
It was very difficult.
My fingers were not good at pushing the right piano keys.
They weren't good at holding a ball.
A little girl there saw me struggling.
She said to me, I will help you learn to play the piano if you teach me to play baseball.
We became good friends that day.
She taught me how to play Beethoven.
I taught her to throw a curveball.
Now I don't know which I like better, baseball or piano.
