It happened in Vienna many years ago. Every evening an old man played the violin in one of the streets. People passed by and put some money into the man’s hat. One night it was very cold and rainy. The old musician was playing the violin near the door of a restaurant, but the people didn't stop to listen to him. Nobody gave him any money. He was very tired and hungry and couldn't play any longer. Suddenly a young man came up to him and asked, "Why did you stop playing?" The old man answered, "Nobody wants to listen to my music." The young man took his violin and began playing. He played so beautifully that very soon there were a lot of people around him. Everybody liked the music and put a lot of money into the old man's hat. Soon the hat was full of money. The old man wanted to thank the young man, but he could not find him. Nobody knew that he was the great Paganini.
