My friends gave me a tambourine (riq) and said we would participate together as a band in a competition.
We went up the stage and the vocal started to sing and the music to play when I noticed that my riq had no jingles, and it did not make any sound no matter how hard I tried to strike it. It was like switching the mute button on. It was then on the stage that I realized I lacked the skill to play or even to correctly hold the instrument.
I felt ashamed of being the reason of the failure of our performance, and started to ask myself why we did not rehearse before and even how I accepted to be a member of the band without having the necessary skills to play the riq.
I went with a friend, who was also a member of the band, to someone to fix the instrument. We passed through a garden on our way and I kept apologizing to him for my mute broken riq.
