The next morning,      , their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a      under their door during the night. One of their neighbor had written to complain(抱怨) about the sound of the piano. Dario's mother asked the building superintendent(管理员) if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all     people and he couldn't imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their      and apologize for their playing.

"These songs are beautiful music." Dario's mother said. "We will be      to play them in the evening."
"And we won't play so loud or late!" Dario said. He was already looking forward to     the new music. More than that, however, he was happy to see the big smile on his mother's face. It gave him a feeling of     and made him feel that they were home at last.
