Alto Maniac

There was a village girl who loves to sing alto. When her sister sings as they do the household chores, she would join in by singing the alto part. She did the same with her parents and brother. Only her brother was not too happy with this habit. He didn’t like her disturbing him with her alto, to each and every song he sings or hums. He knew that she doesn’t know any ‘do’ ‘re’ ‘mi’. But he’d admit that there is at least some sense of an alto part in her singings. He would get more irritated when she’s singing a song alone and instead of soprano, her good-for-nothing sister is singing the alto part to herself. ‘For goodness’ sake, can there be an alto solo song?’ He’d yell at her. 
 
Her habit continued when she went to the college in town. She loved going for worship service on Saturday nights, Sunday mornings, and Sunday evenings because she gets the opportunity to sing alto. The weekday prayer meetings were also opportunities for singing alto. She was happy that there are people to sing soprano and other parts for her, so that she can try alto on them.

Not only hymns and worship songs, as friends listened to pop songs on their laptops, she started trying alto on them. Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, you name it, she was trying alto on all of their songs. Some friends took her habit in good humor while some were having their patience tested. The word had spread to everyone in campus.

It went wrong one day when some guys were playing some music in a college social program. She was caught trying to sing alto to an Eminem song! They have had enough. With whatever things they could find to throw at her; broom sticks, dustbins, buckets, paper plates, etc; they chased her. Who in the world would try alto on a rap song?
