“Oh, mom, is this what I think it is?” Royston hoped she had gotten all his hints about what he wanted. A new guitar! The kind that his favorite band plays. Shiny blue and sounding awesome!
Royston pulled apart the wrapping paper and yanked off the bow. He opened the box and it was…… the guitar! Royston was so happy. He immediately picked it up and started playing. Only to his surprise, it did not sound too good. Royston quickly got discouraged and threw down the guitar. Mom picked it back up and said, “Royston, try again. You’ll never know how good you could be if you give up now.”
Royston was disappointed. He wanted the guitar, but he did not want to take the time to learn to play it. Reluctantly, so he did not hurt his mom’s feelings, he picked the guitar back up and tried again. It sounded just as bad. He got very upset! “Royston”, said his mom, “never give up. Practice, practice, and practice. Soon you’ll see that you can accomplish any thing you set your mind to.”
That night Royston tried again. The day after that he tried again. The day after that he tried again. Each day he tried a little longer and a little harder. Until one day Royston played the most beautiful song on his guitar.
The final Part coming out very shortly
