I have a story for you.... and it's true!

This is one of my famous quotes apparently. I use it with my students all the time.

Today in our class with Uli Jungmair we were given the task of making up text to go with one of the rhythm pieces in Music for Children, Volume 1, pg.80. I think it's #3, but don't quote me on it. You can look it up. Better yet, I'll put it in Siblieus and see if I can post it. I'm getting the hang of this computer stuff you know.... Wait. No I can't. Copyright violation. I guess you will have to find it yourself. My text isn't copyrighted. If you like it, you can steal it.... in spite of what happens to the girl in the story!

Once there was a naughty little girl
She swore and she stole and she lied.

One fine day, the bad wolf came along
And he ate every bit of the girl.

Then the hunters chased the wolf
AND THEN the hunters caught the wolf
THE WOLF, he coughed,
THE WOLF, he burped,
And THEN HE GOT AWAY!!

You must pay attention to this girl,
Or else you will end up like her!

Of course I sat on a chair and "read" the story to my class, using a notebook as the story book. I think I may actually use this text.....
