Story Summary

The story of a magic violin. It shows the power of music.

In a peaceful small town in France, there lived a little boy named Pierre. Pierre was extremely passionate about music. However, his family was very poor and couldn't afford to send him to learn music. But this didn't stop his love for music. Every day, he would run to the town square to listen to street artists play the violin.

One day, while playing in the woods on the edge of the town, Pierre discovered an old and shabby violin. Some of the violin strings were broken, and the body of the violin was full of scratches. But Pierre regarded it as a precious find. He took the violin home and carefully repaired it with his small hands.

After Pierre's meticulous repair, the violin looked much better. When he picked up the bow and pulled the strings for the first time, something magical happened. The sound produced by the violin was like magic. Those broken strings seemed to be repairing themselves, and the scratches on the body of the violin gradually disappeared. Moreover, this sound seemed to have a power that made all the people in the town gather outside Pierre's house.

Pierre continued to play the violin and found that he could play different scenes with it. Sometimes it was the gurgling sound of a stream, sometimes the cheerful singing of birds, and sometimes the howling sound before a storm.

All the people in the town were attracted by Pierre's violin sound. They invited Pierre to play in the town square one after another. Pierre took his magic violin to the square. When he started to play, the whole square seemed to turn into a magical world. The originally somewhat dilapidated square became brand - new. The surrounding flowers bloomed more brightly, children danced merrily, and the old people's faces were filled with happy smiles.

There was a merchant from another place who heard Pierre's performance. He was deeply touched by this magical music. The merchant decided to help Pierre. He brought Pierre a brand - new and exquisitely - made violin. Pierre was very grateful, but he was still reluctant to put down his old magic violin.

However, as time passed, Pierre found that the magic violin seemed to be losing its magic. No matter how he played it, it could only produce ordinary sounds. Pierre was a little frustrated, but he didn't give up. He still practiced every day.

Finally, at an important concert, Pierre decided to take the magic violin on stage. When he stood on the stage and pulled the bow at that moment, the magic violin shone brightly again. Its sound was like the sound of nature, filling the entire concert hall. The audience was shocked by this wonderful music and stood up to applaud Pierre.
