Source text - English The days passed, and Richard kept practicing his violin. Every time he played sad music, he remembered the little girl in his dream with the dying police officer, and this memory made the sad notes even sadder. His parents liked what they heard, and his teacher Yelena was very hopeful that a star was about to be born. Everything appeared to be going in the right direction. There was a promise of a bright future for Richard as a musician, a violin player, perhaps even a songwriter, too, but Richard was getting more anxious as it got closer to the day of the recital. He was still not sure what he wanted to become, and he was afraid that there would be no going back after the recital.
Translation - Spanish Pasaron los días y Richard siguió practicando su violín. Cada vez que tocaba música triste, recordaba a la niña en su sueño con el policía moribundo, y este recuerdo hacía que las notas tristes fueran aún más tristes. A sus padres les gustó lo que escucharon, y su maestra Yelena tenía muchas esperanzas de que Richard fuera la estrella que estaba por nacer. Todo parecía ir en la dirección correcta. Había la promesa de un futuro brillante para Richard como músico, violinista, tal vez incluso como compositor también, pero Richard estaba cada vez más ansioso a medida que se acercaba el día del recital. Todavía no estaba seguro de qué quería ser, y tenía miedo de que no hubiera vuelta atrás después del recital.
