I'm sure you know the song “Happy Birthday”. But to you know who wrote the song, and for whom it was written?
A professor named Archibald Hill in Lousiville, USA could tell us the story. Ninety-seven years ago, two of Mr. Archibald Hill’s aunts, Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill, were asked to write songs for a book called“ Song Stories for the Sunday Morning”. Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were both kindergarten teachers then. They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book. Out of them was the well-known“ Good Morning to You”. The song was very popular at that time among kindergarten children, but many grownups knew it, too. A few years later, little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song “Happy Birthday to You” to the melody of “Good Morning to You” to her little nephew, she sang the song like this:
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Archie !
