Long ago in Germany, there was a little boy named George Frederick Handel and he loved music very much. He wanted to learn how to play the piano. But his father wanted him to become a lawyer (律师) and would not let him take music lessons.
There was a little and old piano up in the attic (阁楼). At night, when everybody was asleep, the little boy climbed up the stairs and played softly.
When he was about 7, he went to visit a rich duke (公爵) with his father. There was a wonderful organ (风琴) in his house.
Little Handel walked up to the organ and began to play. His little hands moved over the keys and the sweetest music came out.
When he finished, he saw his father and the duke looking at him. The duke asked him where he had learned to play, and the boy ________.
Then the duke persuaded (说服) Handel's father to let him study music. A few years later, young Handel became a famous composer.
