No one could know how   38  I was when I took my violin to school for my first lesson. Several years later, I became famous as a violinist. And then, I carefully   39 the violin away.
Now   40  this ad, I discovered the case deep in my closet(储藏室). I put it on the table. Then I picked up the   41  , walked to the telephone and called the number.
Later in the day, a man aged about 30 knocked at the door. "I’ve been expecting
someone can answer my advertisement.  My daughter wants a violin so   42  ," he said, examining my violin. "How much is it?"
I said, "   43 dollars. "
"Are you surer" he asked. "Seven dollars," I  44  and then added, "I hope your daughter will be   45  to have it and enjoy it as I did. "
I smiled, but I found my tears roiling down my face.
