Piano

Costco is promoting pianos. There are ten or so pianos and an old saleswoman. The saleswoman looked ordinary, nothing special. I never really paid attention to that saleswoman.

Last night, I went to Costco and there were not many people there. The old saleswoman was playing piano herself. Oh, piano sounded so great especially when the sounds come from that old lady's ordinary-looking fingers. The sounds seem from the heaven. I stopped by the pianos, closed my eyes, listened and wondered whether I could play piano as well as she does---I almost believe that I could, if I ever knew how.

How lucky she is to be able to play piano, so when she is angry, she can play angrily; when happy, play happily; when sad, play sadly. I padded away from those pianos with envies and griefs.
