Maybe she believed me!4
On my first piano anniversary, Sarah blessed me with a cake, and Chetana also blessed me with a cake. Then I went to a store to get three more cakes.The lady asked, “The cakes are for whom?”
I answered, “They are for me, because I play the piano.”
She asked, “When are you going to play at Carnegie Hall?”
I said, “I have already played there.”
She did not believe me.
Then I said that I have also played at the Royal Albert Hall in London and the Sydney Opera House. In the beginning she did not believe me at all. After I mentioned five or six places, maybe she believed me. Or perhaps she herself had never heard of those places!
