One day，a train was coming near the small town of Cheekyville.On the train there was a strange young man with a big suitcase（旅行箱）.He was called William Warbler.He had been in Cheekyville for many years.What made him most unusual was the fact that whenever he talked，he did it by singing opera.As a result，almost everyone thought he was mad.No one could talk with him in a normal way and no one knew much about him.
    One day，a story spread （傳播） around the town：William had got a role in a very important opera in the nation's capital，and there were posters everywhere advertising the news.Everyone in the capital went to see it，and it was a great success.To everyone's surprise，when William was interviewed by reporters，he answered their questions by speaking rather than singing.And he did it with a clear and pleasant voice.
    From that day on，William gave up singing all the time.Now he did it only during his performance（演出）.Some people guessed why he had changed.They didn't know what William kept in his big sujye.aicase.It was a large stone，with a hand-carved（手刻的）message on it.The message said，"Practice，my boy.Practice every second，for you never know when your chance will come."Few people knew that he only got the role in the opera because of the director.The director had heard William singing while he was buying coffee.
