Olivia wants to play the violin. She wants the music to flow from its strings, swirl around her and reach her heart. Olivia wants to fly with its sound; she wants to dream and play with it. But the violin sleeps. Sometimes it complains, snores or coughs. Olivia insists again and again, day and night. Until at last, the violin begins to dance in her arms. It vibrates and sings.
