I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of ? ? to get started. And often you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can ? ? use.
When I told the owner of the shop about my ? ? , he gave me a long thoughtful . “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.”
He led me ? ? the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand ? ? on his treasure(财宝) and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your pick and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”
I could have cried. Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose ? that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.
His still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.
