Once upon a time, there was a talented musician named Solo. He loved to play his stereo and create beautiful music. One day, he met a group of musicians who were in need of a new staff member. They asked him to audition by playing a solo piece. Solo was nervous, but he knew he had to take the step and show them what he could do.

He played so beautifully that they offered him the job on the spot. But there was a problem, Solo had a strange signature on his skin, a slur that many people didn't understand. The other musicians started to whisper and make fun of him behind his back. They even stacked their instruments against him, making it clear that he wasn't welcome.

Solo felt sad and lonely, but he didn't let it get him down. He continued to practice every day, determined to prove himself. Eventually, his hard work paid off. His music was so good that the other musicians couldn't ignore it anymore. They realized that it didn't matter what was written on his skin, what mattered was the music he played.

From that day on, Solo was no longer alone. He was part of the staff, playing music with his new friends, creating beautiful sounds that filled the air. They all learned that it's not what's written on the outside that matters, but what's inside that counts.

The end.

Reflections

1. Why did the other musicians not want Solo to join the staff at first?
2. How did Solo feel when he was being treated unfairly by the other musicians?
3. What did Solo do to prove himself to the other musicians?
4. How did the other musicians change their attitudes towards Solo in the end?
5. What is the message of the story "Solo's Signature Symphony"?
