A young musician lives in a small town. Every day the man plays his lyre at home. His voice echoes very beautifully in the room. The musician feels like a great artist. One day he wants to play on stage.

The town people come to hear the musician. The young man walks on stage and sings. But his voice sounds very bad outside. The song sounds bad and he loses the rhythm. People get very angry at this bad music.

Everyone boos the musician and throws stones at him. The scared musician takes his lyre and runs away. At last he sadly sees the truth. Real talent shows everywhere, not only at home. Plans at home do not fit the market.
