Out of a desire to reward her little son’s success in music studies, his mother took him to a concert by the Great Musician. She sat the child down in the hall and, seeing a friend, went up to her to say hello.

The boy, who was at the concert for the first time, meanwhile got up and decided to explore the area. Seeing a door with the sign “No Entry,” he, of course, immediately entered the door.

Meanwhile, the lights in the hall went out before the concert began. The mother hurried to her place, but did not find her son there. Suddenly the curtain rose and a spotlight illuminated the stage. Here the mother was seized with horror, because she saw her little son on stage, sitting at the piano and innocently playing a simple, recently learned melody.

And at that very moment, the Great Musician walked onto the stage with a swift and light gait. The audience gasped. But the Great Master approached the boy and said:

- Don't stop. Keep playing.

Leaning over, the Musician began to play the bass line with his left hand. Then, his right hand landed on the keyboard on the other side of the child, and he added a lively, running obbligato (an instrument part in a piece of music that cannot be omitted and must be played).

The audience was completely captivated.

Together, the Great Pianist and the Boy turned an absurd, funny situation into an amazing, unique one and gave the audience an absolutely unique moment.

Whatever the situation, the Lord whispers:

- Don't stop, keep playing. And together, we will collect small fragments into Creativity, My Creativity.
