Many years ago, when I was a man in my twenties, I worked as a salesman for a piano company.
We 1 our pianos all over the state by advertising in small town 2 .Every time we advertised, we would receive a reply on a postcard which said,“Please 3 me a new piano for my little granddaughter. It 4 be red mahogany(红木). I can pay $10 a month with my egg money.”Of course, we could not sell a(n) 5 piano for $10 a month. 6 her cards kept on coming.
A couple of years later, I 7 my own piano company, and when I 8 in that area, the postcards started coming to me. For months, I ignored(不理睬) 9 --what else could I do?
But then, one day I 10 to be in the area. I had a red mahogany piano on my little truck. Despite knowing that I was about to 11 a terrible business decision, I managed to find the old woman and took the new piano in her house and placed it 12 I thought the roof would be least likely to rain on it. I told her and a little barefoot girl to try to 13 the chickens off it, and I left sure I had just 14 a new piano.
But the 15 came in, all 52 of them as agreed, sometimes with coins. It was unbelievable!
Then one day I was in Memphis on 16 business. As I was sitting at the bar having a drink, I heard the most beautiful piano music behind me. I looked 17 ,and there was a lovely young woman 18 a very nice ground piano.
She smiled at me, asked for requests, and when she took a 19 she sat down at my table.
“Aren't you the man who sold my grandma a piano a long time ago?”
I suddenly remembered. My Lord, it was her! It was the little barefoot girl!
I did have to go to my room because men don't like to be 20 crying public.
