Jenny lived in a town．Her father，Mr．Young，had a shop there and sold clothes in it．The shopkeeper was born in a poor family and was in school no more than a year．He was always sorry for it though he had much money now．He hoped his daughter could become a scientist．But the girl didn’t 1ike anything else except singing．She often went to the concerts，bought a lot of records the famous pop stars made and insisted on listening to the music when she was free．Of course she wanted to be a pop star，too．Her parents wanted to prevent her，but she didn’t listen to

them and they had to agree to her choice．They engaged an old man who was good at music as a private teacher．

Five years passed．Mr．Young bought all kinds of musical instruments for Jenny and they visited some places where the famous singers were born．Of course he spent a lot of money on it．But he found the girl didn’t make any progress．At last the teacher didn’t think the girl could become a singer at all and had to tell Mr．Young about it．The man became angry and said，“Why didn’t you tell me about it earlier? My daughter learned nothing but I paid you month after month!”

“I think you should thank me for it，”said the teacher．“Another teacher, who teaches

badly，is paid more than I was．And I saved much money for you!”
