Hana is ten years old. She lives with her parents and brothers in Cambridge. She gets a gift—a violin, from her parents on her tenth birthday.
"I will play the violin at the talent （才艺；天才）show." Hana says to her brothers.
"Really? But you're still a beginner." says Kenji.
Koji laughs. "I guess you can only play a note!"
That's true. Hana just starts it this summer when she visits her grandfather in New York. Her grandpa is a violinist. He can play great music well, even he also can make the beautiful sounds of birds and rain with his violin.
Hana wants to play the violin like her grandfather so she practices every day. Finally, the day of the show comes. AS Han goes onto the stage, she feels nervous and can't remember anything. She thinks."Kanji and Koji are right. I can't do this."
"Do your best." her grandfather's words come into her ears suddenly. "Grandpa will cheer for me!" Hana says to herself and she feel much better.
"This is the sound of min." she says to the listeners and then she plays her violin for a nice plump-plump-plump. She plays all the special sounds, she practices, bees... and cows.. and mice... After Hana finishes the last sound, she takes a great bow.
After the dinner, Keji asks Hana to play again,"Make that funny sound of rain gain. It's really amazing"
Then Koji says, "Make the beautiful bird sound, too." Hana happily plays all the sounds again and wishes that her grandpa can hear them.
