Sophia's flute

Once upon a time, they was a King in the land of Magodo who loved music so much that on his birthday, a wizard gave him a flute.

The next day when the King started playing it, the flute was out of tune. Many other musicians tried it, and they agreed that the flute was useless. The flute was thrown out of the palace as rubbish.

Sophia a poor little girl later found the flute, and even though she didn't know how to play, decided to have a go. She played and played, the whole day through, for months and years, always with the flute out of tune, but playing better and better.

Then one day, suddenly, the flute started to play the most beautiful melodies. It was a magic flute, and could only be played well by someone willing to put in the necessary interest and effort.

The King heard the music from his window, and summoned Sophia to the palace. When the King saw the flute playing he was filled with joy. At that moment he made Sophia his own private musician.
