Tina likes to sing. She always sings when she is free. But sometimes, Tina's family hope that the house can be quiet. Mum wants to do some reading, and Dad wants to work. Then Tina must find other things to do. She plays on the computer and watches TV, but she doesn't like them as much as singing.
It was a summer day. Tina sang her favourite songs in the living room. Dad came out from his bedroom and said, "Tina, I don't feel well and I want to sleep. Can you go outside and play?"
Then Tina went outside. It was hot so Tina took off her hat. She put her hat next to her and started to sing. When she finished one of her favourite songs, a man with a small dog stopped in front of her. "That was a beautiful song," he said. And he put one dollar into Tina's hat.
Before Tina said something, the man walked away with his dog. Then Tina kept singing. Many people walked past and stopped to listen. Before they left, they put some money into Tina's hat, too.
In two hours, Tina got about 100 dollars. "I can take Dad out for ice cream if he feels better," she thought. Then she went back home happily.
