    Mohammed was a young boy, but he had a talent beyond his years. Every day, he would wake up early in the morning and head to the living room where the piano sat. He would lift the lid, revealing the shiny black and white keys, and begin to play. His fingers danced across the keys, creating beautiful melodies that filled the house.

    His father, upon noticing his talent, decided to enroll him in a music institute. The music lessons didn't feel like a burden to Mohammed; instead, he enjoyed every moment, learning new notes, practicing scales, and playing different pieces.
