Jenny lived in a town. Her father Mr. Young, had a shop there and sold clothes in it. The shopkeeper was born in a poor family and was in school no more than a year. He was always sorry for it though he had much money now. He hoped his daughter could become a scientist. But the girl didn't like anything else except singing. She often went to the concerts, bought a lot of records the famous pop stars made and insisted on listening to the music when she was free. Of course she wanted to be a pop star, too. Her parents wanted to prevent her, but she didn't listen to them and they had to agree to her choice. They engaged an old man who was good at music as a private teacher.
Five years passed. Mr. Young bought all kinds of musical instruments for Jenny and they visited some places where the famous singers were born. Of course he spent a lot of money on it. But he found the girl didn't make any progress. At last the teacher didn't think the girl could become a singer at all and had to tell Mr. Young about it. The man became angry and said, "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier? My daughter learned nothing but I paid you month after month!"
"I think you should thank me for it," said the teacher. "Another teacher, who teaches badly, is paid more than I was. And I saved much money for you!"
