I DO BELIEVE

               Larry had been hooked on a popular talent show called One million Star.
He tuned in to the show every week to follow the latest results.He has always wa
-nted to be a singer since  was a kid .The show somehow ignited his  passion
for singing again.He started to toy around with the idea of signing up for next sea
-son's show.

             Surprisingly,he did it !As the contest neared,Larry took every opportunity to
 practice, including his bath time.During baths ,he would use the showerhead as
 a microphone and sing out loud,imagining that he was a superstar with lots of fe
-male fans.Finally,it was show  time. Larry hoped to knock everyone's socks off
.But perhaps the scene was too intimidating. Just ast he band started to play its fir
-st note,Larry  suddenly drew a blank.He just stood there shaking,looking embarra
-ssed.He blew it !But he said to himself,"I will be back."
