A Story A Day. Story 171 of 365: Talent.

The teacher called Mona's parents on a Tuesday afternoon, she only told them they needed to talk. Mona's parents were surprised, as their seven-old daughter had always been a good girl and an excellent student. They met with the teacher the following day.

-Is there anything wrong with Mona?- her mother asked the teacher.

-Don't worry, there's nothing wrong. Please, sit down.

She turned around and took a folder.

-I want you to take a look at these drawings your daughter did.

Mona' parents looked at each other before looking at the paintings. There was one of a beach landscape, another of their dog, and several others. All of them painstakingly detailed. They didn't know their daughter could draw so well, she never did so at home.

-Your daughter has an awesome talent, you should consider signing up for art lessons.

Mona's parents stayed in silence. Should they profit of their daughter's talent, or let her decide her own destiny?
