I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.
It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves on the cool . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, to the sound of them.
Autumn is a season but life is uninteresting to me. The free days always get me . But one day, the sound of a violin into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was in playing her violin.
I had seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been there for so long but my existence did not seem to disturb her.
Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became . we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me.
Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly . To my astonishment, the girl came over to me.
“You must like violin.” she said.
“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.

“In fact, it was your playing gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”
The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a ― so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.
