「ではすぐ今の次。はいっ。」
　そらと思って弾き出したかと思うと いきなり楽長が 足をどんと 踏ふんで どなり出しました。
「だめだ。まるでなっていない。このへんは曲の心臓なんだ。それが こんな がさがさしたことで。諸君。演奏までもうあと十日しかないんだよ。音楽を専門にやっているぼくらが あのかなぐつかじだの砂糖屋のでっちなんかの 寄り集りに負けてしまったら いったいわれわれの面目はどうなるんだ。おいゴーシュ君。君には困るんだがなあ。表情ということがまるでできてない。怒るも喜ぶも 感情というものがさっぱり出ないんだ。それにどうしても ぴたっとほかの楽器と合わないもなあ。いつでも きみだけ とけた靴くつのひもを引きずって みんなのあとをついて歩くようなんだ、困るよ、しっかりしてくれないとねえ。こうきあるわが金星音楽団が きみ一人のために 悪評をとるようなことでは、みんなへもまったく気の毒だからな。では今日は練習はここまで、休んで六時には かっきりボックスへ入ってくれたまえ。」
みんなはおじぎをして、それからたばこをくわえてマッチをすったり どこかへ出ていったりしました。ゴーシュは その粗末な箱みたいなセロをかかえて 壁の方へ向いて口をまげてぼろぼろ涙をこぼしましたが、気をとり直して 自分だけ たったひとり いまやったところを はじめから静かに もういちど弾きはじめました。

Jennifer goes on an investigation to find out the truth. Did Junior really steal his award-winning design or has Jennifer lost her mind?

This story uses words from '3000 most common words in English'. 


When Jennifer got home that day, she called her grandma. They caught up on the essentials: the move to the new city, the teachers at her school and if she liked her new bedroom. But then Jennifer got down to business.

She explained how this guy called Junior won a gardening award for most innovative design, being the youngest winner in the ceremony’s history. Jennifer’s grandma was supportive of this boy, the way grandparents are always supportive of any accomplishment, big or small. But Jennifer insisted that he was treated like an otherworldly superstar and that it didn’t seem right. 

Jennifer finally just said it. “I think Junior violated the competition rules by copying someone’s design, but I can’t prove it.”

“Oh, my dear, that’s cute, you’ve always loved coming up with adorable little theories. Do you 
remember your friend, Samantha? You two were always playing detectives. Sometimes I see her—”

“—Yes, grandma, but could you help? Take a photo of your neighbour’s garden, please. I think Junior copied her design.”

“Oh, sure thing, dear, I’ll take it after our call and send it straight away. So, tell me more about your new friends…”

Jennifer ended the call by ranting about the truth and how when people manipulate reality, they distort our ability to be authentic individuals. Her grandma kept repeating that’s sweet, dear.

Moments after the call ended, Jennifer received the photo. She compared it to Junior’s. They were identical.
