The Singer
Cindy loved to sing, but she had never sung in public because she was
too embarrassed.Every year her mother encouraged her to sing in the
school concert. Cindy wished shecould be in the concert, but she always assumed that
she wasn't good enough.
"Even if I tried, they wouldn't accept me," she thought.
But her mother insisted, so Cindy finally agreed to try.
On the Monday morning of the trials, Cindy was very nervous. She arrived at
theauditorium very early, while it was still deserted. Gradually the students began to
arrive.
"Cindy, I didn't know you could sing," said her friend Mara.
"Well, I thought I might as well try," said Cindy. "I don't care whether or
not I'maccepted."
"Well, I do," said Mara. "I intend to be in the concert this year. Mrs. Blake said
that I had a very good chance of getting the main part."
One by one the students climbed onto the stage to sing for the music teacher. Some
of them sounded terrible. Cindy listened to all of them until it was her turn. "Hello,
dear," said the music teacher. "You may sing anything you like."
Cindy sang. Although she was tiny, her voice was deep and full. She sang
loudly andpowerfully. She forgot about all the other people in the auditorium.
When she had finished, the entire room was quiet. Everyone seemed as if under
a spell.
"Cindy," the music teacher said at last, "that was beautiful! You are a singer!"
