A famous singer agreed to sing in a bar（酒吧）. The manager（經(jīng)理） of the bar made it widely known around town and tickets for the event sold out quickly. In fact， it turned out that there were no seats left on the night of the concert.

A feeling of expectation and happiness was in the air as the manager walked up to the stage（舞臺(tái)）. He said， “Hello everybody， thank you for being here tonight. I am afraid that the singer will not be singing tonight because she is ill. However， we have found another great singer. She will sing for you. We hope she will give you great happiness as well...”

The air seemed frozen for a moment. People were unhappy about? the news. They did not even hear the host say the stand-in’s name.

The environment turned from excitement to quietness.

The stand-in performer gave the show everything she had. When she finished， there was nothing. It was so quiet. No one cheered. Nobody clapped（鼓掌）. The stand-in performer was embarrassed（尷尬的）. Suddenly， from the balcony， a little boy stood up and shouted， “Mommy， I think you are wonderful！”

Everyone turned to the balcony， saw the little boy’s smile， and then broke into cheers at the same time.

We all need people in our lives who would like to stand up once in a while and say， “I think you are wonderful.”
