    Mozart asked the old man, "Do you often play compositions of Mozart's?" "Yes," answered the old man, "Now, everybody knows Mozart and likes his music." "Do you make a living by playing the violin?" Mozart asked. The old man said he (do). And then Mozart took over the violin from the old man and began (play).

    He played so well that all the passers-by(过路人) stopped (listen) to the wonderful music. The old man felt very surprised that the man could play so (good). He asked Mozart, "Who are you, sir?" "Your colleague(同事), a poor (music )like you." Then Mozart gave the violin the old man and went away.
