My son worked all summer to buy a dirty used motorcycle. Then, it took him hours and hours to
clean it. I was really happy to buy him a nice helmet and riding clothes. I could hardly wait for
him to open his gift the next morning. To my surprise, when I got up to prepare breakfast, I saw a
beautiful violin. It was a gift from my son.
I once asked my husband to buy me a violin, but he didn’t agree to buy one. I couldn’t imagine
how my son could afford this expensive gift. Later I realised that he must have sold the
motorcycle to get me the violin.
