父亲，我能学拉小提琴吗？小莎拉问她的爸爸。她一直要这要那，所以她的父亲非常不开心。

你已经花了不少钱了，莎拉，他说，起初你想学骑马，然后想学跳舞，后来是游泳。目前又想学拉小提琴。

我会天天都训练的，父亲，莎拉说，我会认真刻苦的。

好吧，她父亲说。我会这么做：我付6个星期的小提琴课的钱，6个星期后你需要拉首曲子给我听。假如你拉得非常不错，就能继续上小提琴课，假如你拉得非常差，就不要再学了。

行，父亲，莎拉说，这非常公平。

非常快，她的爸爸就找到了一个非常不错的小提琴老师，莎拉开始学拉小提琴了。虽然学费非常高，但她的爸爸兑现了诺言。

6个星期非常快就过去了。该莎拉拉小提琴给她的爸爸听了。

她走进起居室说：我筹备好拉小提琴给你听了。

好啊，莎拉，她的爸爸说。开始吧。

莎拉开始拉了，她拉得非常差，小提琴发出可怕的噪音。

刚好她爸爸的一位朋友也在旁边，朋友再也没办法忍受，只好使手捂着耳朵。

一曲终了，她的爸爸说：非常不错，莎拉。你可以继续学琴了。 听到爸爸这么说，莎拉开心地跑外出去。在场的朋友对她的爸爸说：你已经花了不少钱了，可她还是拉得不如何。

噢，的确这样，她父亲说，但自从她开始学小提琴将来，我就能以非常实惠的价格买下这幢楼的5个公寓。再过6周，我就能拥有整幢楼啦！
