When Marco was young he loved music – he played the guitar and the piano. There were a lot of CDs in his bedroom. His favourite band was Mango. He always wanted to buy Mango’s new CDs.

One day Marco walked into a record shop. There were lots of new CDs he wanted to buy. There was a new Mango CD too, but it was £10. Marco looked in his bag. There was £5 in the bag – all of his pocket money.

Marco walked out of the shop. Outside, there was a man with a guitar. People liked his music. One man shouted, ‘This is for your music!’. There was a £5 note in his hands. It was for the guitar man. What a fantastic idea!

Marco walked home. He picked up his guitar and walked back to the record shop. He played his guitar. Some people stopped and listened. Marco waited for the money.

He waited and waited. He also danced. People laughed and one boy shouted, ‘You can’t dance and you can’t sing!’. Marco was really sad.

Suddenly Marco smiled. There was a library opposite the record shop. He walked into the library and borrowed the new Mango CD!
