    About this ebook

    These two very special short stories are a thank you gift to the readers that supported the author's effort throughout the year. This includes:

    * Why I document -- A reader wants to know why a particular prolific author is so keen on getting out technical documents. He meets the author and learns about their motivation.

    * First concert -- A chance encounter of two souls results in an impromptu musical outpouring of songs from the heart.
