Late last year, 11-year-old Jude Kofie got an unexpected gift, a 15,000-dollar piano from a stranger. It sounds unbelievable, right? This is how the story began.
One day, Jude's father, Isaiah, heard a noise coming from the basement(地下室). Then he found Jude playing the old electronic keyboard(电子琴) there. And to Isaiah's surprise, the boy played it well. "It's a miracle(奇迹) because no one taught Jude how to play," Isaiah thought. After checking many times, he found that Jude could play any song he heard. Then he realized that Jude was talented in music. The happy father shared a video of Jude playing the keyboard on the Internet. Soon it became popular.
Bill Magnusson , a piano tuner (调音师), read the story about Jude online and heard him play. He learned that Jude's parents came from Ghana and were raising four children. They lived a hard life, so they couldn't buy a piano for Jude.
"This boy is a talent. I need to do something to help him," Magnusson thought. Then Magnusson bought the piano for Jude and promised to tune it once a month for the rest of his life. He's also paying for Jude to get piano lessons.
Jude was very excited when he saw the piano in his house. The Kofie family was very thankful for Bill's help.
