"Oh boys, don't throw stones at the poor bird," said an old gray-headed man, "Sir." said a little fellow, "she makes such a loud noise that we can't suffer from her" "Yes, but she uses the voice which1gave her, and I am afraid the stone will rebound (弹回), and2you as long as you live!" "Rebound! We don't understand you, sir!" "Well, come and I will tell you a story.

"Fifty years ago, I was a boy like you. I used to throw stones3I became very skilled. One day I went to work for an old couple. They were very kind to everybody and everything.4had so many birds making their nests under the roofs of their houses. The birds seemed to5the couple. One of the birds got used to building her nest in the same place and6her young chicks there. She and her mate had just returned when I went there to work and the couple welcomed them heartily. The bird hopped about as if she was glad to be back. During the day, I thought I would try my7upon her. She sat on a pole and looked at me trustfully. I found a nice stone, and I threw it with my greatest skill. It struck the bird on the head and she drooped dead! "

"I was sorry when I saw her8. But the deed was done. I said9to the old couple about it. But one of their grandchildren told them what I had done. Though the couple10said a word to me. I knew that they were deeply saddened by my bad behavior. I could never11them in the face afterwards. Oh, that I should have told them how sorry I was!"

"They have been12many years and so has the poor bird; but don't you see13that stone rebounded, and hit me? How much the14of it has hurt me! For fifty years I have remembered it. I have never spoken of it before; but if what I have said will15you from throwing a stone that may rebound I will be happy. "

For both musicians and their fans, it's hard to say no to the excitement of a live concert. For fans, staying with others who share the same hobby and seeing their favorite musicians face to face are so exciting. For musicians, concert tours allowthemto connect with their listeners and make big money.

So what happens when live tours are no longer possible? In early 2020, governments stopped people from traveling and staying together because of COVID-19(新冠病毒). Tours and concerts were cancelled, leaving both musicians and fans disappointed.

But musicians are creative, and technology can bring people together in ways that were impossible just ten years ago. And so one performer after another began to offer online concerts.

These online concerts were simple. Musicians just filmed themselves playing in their houses. They livestreamed (直播) their songs and listeners loved these online events. Online concerts are a great way for musicians to connect with their fans during a difficult time. In addition, they are a great way to bring people together. Although some online concerts require payment, most of them are free. And this raises questions about whether they will continue when live concerts come back.

It is easy for artists to offer free music online when no one can leave their homes. But long-term, it can stop them from selling CDS or tickets to live shows. However, free online concerts may be a good way for bands to win new fans. People who might not normally listen to an artist's music may meet an online concert accidentally. This increases the number of people buying a musician's music. Free concerts can be a good business decision after all.
