Well, I failed again.” “Oh, Dan, keep practicing! You’ll be on the other side of the curtain one day,” said Ella. Dan kept practicing. He sang day and night. He sang everywhere he went! He wanted to be an opera singer more than anything else in the world. He volunteered at the theater on Saturdays, but he needed to start earning money to pay for singing and Italian lessons. One day Dan saw an ad asking for bicycle delivery men. Then he began his new job delivering food to customers all over the city. Dan thought it was very rewarding making hungry people happy, but he had a problem. He wasn’t getting enough time to practice singing. Then one day, he had a great idea. Dan arrived at 52nd Street. “I have your burgers and your fries,” he sang. “I have your soda and your le-mon-ade...” The customers were very surprised! When he finished, they clapped and gave him a nice big tip. One night, there was an order for lobster soup to a beautiful, big house on the river. Dan rang the bell, took a deep breath and sang, “I have your lovely lobster soup. It smells delicious to me-e-e...” The door opened slowly and a well-dressed woman appeared. She took the soup, then closed the door, with no tips at all. A few days later, Dan received a text inviting him to the Opera House. At the Opera House, a woman greeted Dan. It was the lady who Dan delivered lobster soup to last week. She said, “I am Antonia Allegro, the director here. I’d like to invite you to our next opera. This is your first rehearsal(排练). You’ll practice today. At my house last week, you had one of the most beautiful voices in the world! You’re so talented! Congratulations.

(D) “Hey, Dan, you look like the unhappiest guy in the world!” said Ella, as they volunteered as ushers (引座员) at the theater. “Yeah,” Dan replied, trying to smile. “Remember the role you helped me practise last week? Well, I failed again.” “Oh, Dan, keep practicing! You’ll be on the other side of the curtain one day,” said Ella. Dan kept practicing. He sang day and night. He sang everywhere he went! He wanted to be an opera singer more than anything else in the world. He volunteered at the theater on Saturdays, but he needed to start earning money to pay for singing and Italian lessons. One day Dan saw an ad asking for bicycle delivery men. Then he began his new job delivering food to customers all over the city. Dan thought it was very rewarding making hungry people happy, but he had a problem. He wasn’t getting enough time to practice singing. Then one day, he had a great idea. Dan arrived at 52nd Street. “I have your burgers and your fries,” he sang. “I have your soda and your le-mon-ade...” The customers were very surprised! When he finished, they clapped and gave him a nice big tip. One night, there was an order for lobster soup to a beautiful, big house on the river. Dan rang the bell, took a deep breath and sang, “I have your lovely lobster soup. It smells delicious to me-e-e...” The door opened slowly and a well-dressed woman appeared. She took the soup, then closed the door, with no tips at all. A few days later, Dan received a text inviting him to the Opera House. At the Opera House, a woman greeted Dan. It was the lady who Dan delivered lobster soup to last week. She said, “I am Antonia Allegro, the director here. I’d like to invite you to our next opera. This is your first rehearsal(排练). You’ll practice today. At my house last week, you had one of the most beautiful voices in the world! You’re so talented! Congratulations. Welcome to the show!” Dan’s first opera performance was in front of thousands of people, and he didn’t sing about burgers or fries or lemonade! 69.
