How are you today, friends? I hope you're doing well. I always wish you the best and have a great day. We're like a family here in this beautiful community. Well, friends, today I'm back to bring you a new story. I've dedicated it to letter R465 Reynold. As you can see, I was heavily inspired by the letter's art to create the story; in fact, if you look at it, you'll see how the story makes sense. I wanted to do it this way so it would fit with the letter properly. I hope you like the story. If you'd like, you can tell me what you thought in the comments. Let's begin!

Friends, let me tell you that Reynold was born in Spain, in a very traditional city. He's always heard the sound of the guitar, the most famous instrument in this country, or for as long as he can remember. His entire family played the guitar, so it seems he inherited the knowledge, and he also dedicated himself to it. But he went further. Once he mastered the guitar, he stopped playing it in bands; he wanted something different. His love for the instrument was so great that he decided to become a guitar teacher to teach others how to play it. He felt more fulfilled doing so than playing in concerts. But that wasn't all; if you think that's all he did, you'll back down when you discover the rest.
He wasn't content with just teaching others. He also held various positions in local government culture to promote the use of the guitar. As you can see, he's very passionate about this subject. Practically his entire life revolves around it: teaching others how to play it and preserving his culture in the country.
He often travels throughout Spain to give talks about the Spanish guitar and teach children how to play it. He also teaches older people. His goal is to make it known to as many people as possible. His family was very proud of him because he truly followed in their footsteps, but with ten times more energy. In fact, the government has already given him several awards for his efforts. But, as always, this isn't enough. So, like a church missionary, he goes to cities where the Spanish guitar is known to be underplayed to try to promote it in some way. If you don't want to, he forces you—not exactly like that, but he encourages you to learn to play it.
Well, it turns out he recently visited a village. But don't be fooled by the word "village," it's a fairly developed village. He came to visit because he discovered through his contacts that the people there no longer played the guitar. And he doesn't find that acceptable; he wants everyone to learn and love it. So he soon began researching how to get people to play it again. First, he started asking everyone why they didn't like playing it anymore; many responded, "Why would they if no one wanted to listen?"
This caught his attention because most of them told him that if they liked what was happening, it was because they didn't want to do it because, they said, no one else was interested. That's when he realized the problem was a vicious cycle among the people. No one played for anyone else because they thought others wouldn't like it.
But the reality is that everyone liked it, it's just that the tradition had been lost. Well, here Reynold had a challenge. He had to get everyone to like playing again and restore the tradition. Of course, it wouldn't be easy, but he had to try. He'd succeeded on all his other missions so far, so he hoped this one would be the same.
But not everything was as easy as he had initially thought. It had been a long time since people had played the guitar, and it took him a long time to convince them that this was the best way to preserve the country's culture and traditions everywhere, even in the villages. To convince them, he had to hold several meetings in the city's main square. Afterward, he organized an event where he hired several musicians and dancers to give a grand demonstration of how the guitar should be played.
The festival lasted three days. During those three days, people came from all over the country, and many famous singers who were masters of the guitar performed. The people were so excited to see what they had lost due to their prejudices that they told Reynold they would commit to rescuing the local culture. Now it was time to wait for them to do so. For his part, he had already planted the seed; now it was time to let it grow; the festival was a success. But Reynold's mission is not yet over; now there are many villages left to evangelize.
