At eight o'clock, the lights in the auditorium began to dim, the spotlights came on, and only then did they notice the boy - up on the piano bench, innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." His mother gasped in shock and embarassment but, before she could retrieve her son, the master himself appeared on the stage and quickly moved to the keyboard.
He whispered gently to the boy, "Don't quit. Keep playing." Leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass part. Soon his right arm reached around the other side and improvised a delightful obbligato. Together, the old master and the young novice held the crowd mesmerized with their blended and beautiful music.
In all our lives, we receive helping hands - some we notice, some we don't. Equally we ourselves have countless opportunites to provide helping hands - sometimes we would like our assistance to be noticed, sometimes we don't. Little of what we all achieve is without learning from others and without support from others and what we receive we should hand out.

well, when the opportunity is hard for us, we really need the help because no one does well all the time without help. Even though Buddha could find right way by himself, in the first time, there were some guys to guide him to do that.
really, the people always to build good relationship with other people around own self and want get help from them when we have the problem.but some time we must help them self and need a little from whom that we need.
Honestly, this story is meaning full to me. Helping hand doesn’t mean to get a help from other people at all, but we should help other people by our conscience. According to this story, we can say that the boy braves enough to do the performance, because he didn’t quit after had faced a problem. Moreover, the old man, his master, showed a good behavior to other people watching in front of the stage.
