Stan looked depressed. He walked away without saying another word. Anton slowly followed Stan with confusion. Anton finally got into the house and jumped into bed. He stared at the ceiling wondering why did Stan walk away from him, then suddenly…. He heard music coming from outside but the music didn’t sound like the same from before. He listened carefully to see what was different about the music. He could hear a violin! His eyes widened and his mouth shot open. He was in such shock he swung off the bed.
