I used to live in Kobe in Japan. On my way home on the bus every evening I used to look for a man who often played his saxophone (萨克斯) near the river. He always looked upriver towards the mountain and he always looked so happy. I couldn't hear his music because the windows were closed on the bus but I imagined (想像) it to be loud and clear. I wanted to be like that man.
One night I went to Himeji, a city not far from Kobe. As I walked with my family along the river I saw a statue. It was a young man who looked just like me. He was wearing a cap and smiling. In his hands was a saxophone. He was lifting the saxophone to his lips and he was just about to play, My family walked on up the river but I stayed there by the statue, dreaming of playing a saxophone on TV.
Two weeks later it was my birthday. Imagine my joy when I opened my present from my parents and found that it was a saxophone! I put it to my lips to play, but it wouldn't make a sound. I blew (吹) and blew but I couldn't get it to play. I was almost crying when suddenly the saxophone made the most beautiful sound-loud and clear like I imagined the music of the man by the river in Kobe. I blew again and again. But I wasn't playing music yet.
Then came the lessons. Night after night, week after week my teacher made me practice. Slowly I started to improve and at last there came the magic day when I started to play music. Now I'm in the TV studio with my saxophone strap(用带子系) to my neck and my cap on my head. I'm waiting to be called to the stage to play my first ever saxophone solo (独奏) on TV. I'm thinking of the man by the river in Kobe and the statue smiling at me in Himeji. I'm a happy man.
