Brian couldn't understand why they were so unkind to him．For a moment，he thought about giving up the show．But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes，and also his teachers said he was very funny．So he decided to prepare for the show．

Brian did a great job at the talent show．Everyone loved his performance，and he won the first prize！His teachers and friends were proud of him．Even so，Ken told Brian that he was not funny，and that he would never be successful．Brian didn't understand why Ken said so，but he realized that it had nothing to do with him．He confidently continued to work towards his goal．
