Once there was a Czechoslovak violin player who lived in Sweden. His name was Rudolf. Some of his friends said he could not play the violin very well. He was too restless and travelled around too much. Rudolf did travel, that was true. He travelled about Scandinavia in a small boat stopping at small cities along the coast. Here he would give a violin concerts and earned money to buy food and clothes. If he found a person to play the piano with him, good. If not, he played music that did not need piano.

Once a twice, he felt to agree need to play music that needed piano, so he made them believe one was playing. He would play complete saintnado for violin and piano with no piano in site.

One year, Rudolf sailed all the way out to Iceland. He began playing at different seaport cities all around the rocky coast. It was hard and difficult land. Yet, the people in those areas never forgot how to be kind and friendly to strangers. One day, Rudolf was sailing from one town to another. When the northeast sky turned black and threatening A storm was blowing over Iceland. Rudolf was sailing near a dangerous rocky place and closed to for hours away.

The wind began to blow stronger. Rudolf was begining to feel trouble, then he saw a light house less than a kilometer’s away. The light house was on a small rocky island surrounded by deep water. At the bottom of the light house was big heavy rocks. In one place, the rock seperated, there the water was calm, protected by the rocks. Rudolf tried to sail his boat into the calm place. At last he did, he tied the boat to metal ring that was stuck in the rocks. He began walking up the rocks towards the house. At the top of rocks was a man, his body was almost hidden by the storm clouds that hung low over the light house.

"You are welcome." The man’s voice thunder down the rocks louder than the noisy waves.

The light house man led Rudolf up the metal stairs. They went round and round to the top. They stopped on the third floor, there was a living room.

The light house man became very busy preparing for the storm.
