Possible Retelling for the Teacher’s Reference1
The story of “Happy Birthday to You” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but later turned into a bitter2 one. There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other Patty Hill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge of kindergarten education. Bu combining their abilities, the two produced a song called “Good Morning to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs for kindergartens.
Thirty-one years later a man named Coleman published the song without the sisters’ permission. To make things worse, he added3 a second part, which is the present “Happy Birthday to You”. This new song soon became popular and eventually it replaced the sisters’ first part altogether. Then, in 1916, Patty took legal4 action against Coleman. In court she managed to prove that she and her sister really owned the song.
