I'm sure you know the song ‘‘Happy Birthday'' . You must sing this song to your family and your friends many times on their birthdays every year. But do you know who wrote this song? And who was it written for?
More than one hundred years ago, two of archibald Hill's aunts, Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred J. Hill were both kindergarten teachers then. They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book. One of them was the well-known song ‘‘Good Morning to You''. This song was very popular at that time among kindergarten children, but many grown-ups didn't know it. A few year later, little Archibald was born. Miss Patty Hill sang the song ‘‘Happy birthday'' to the melody of ‘‘Good Morning to You'' to her little nephew.
Miss Patty Hill and her sister never thought that song would become so popular, but it really did.
People all over the world like the song.
