I got off the college shuttle bus and started walking. That’s 36 I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people and the traffic. I walked a little slower so that I could 37 where it was coming from. 38 the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a carriage next to her. She was singing songs about love, keeping on trying, and not underestimating (低估) the power within yourself. The way she was singing 39 me a bit. I stood there watching her play for about fifteen minutes, thinking that it must 40 to perform alone in the middle of a crowded place.
She must have felt my 41 because she would 42 look in my direction. Then I walked over and put some 43 in her carriage and she said, “Thank you”. Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been 44 a rough time lately, but you’ve made me 45 again.”

I 53 a little wider because I knew that she was doing a good thing. So, after we 54, my heart was 55 and lightened by a musical soul!
