One day, when Frank and John were going to school, they saw an old man with a flute.
"Will you please play a tune for us, sir?" said Frank.
"Yes, boys, I will play for you. Are you fond of music?" "Yes, sir, we like music. You used to play your flute when I went with mamma' to see you."
"O you are the little boy who had your flute with you, are you?"
"Yes, sir, and I have learned to play a little on it."
"Well, I am glad to see you again, my boy.
"I will play you a tune, and then you must play for me."
"But my flute is at home, sir."
"O well, you can use mine. It is a good one."
The old man played a tune for the boys, and then gave the flute to Frank to play.
Frank played a tune, and did it very well.
"How well you play!" said the old man.
"You are very kind to say that, but I wish I could play as well as you do," said Frank.
"O you will soon do that. All you will have to do is to try."
