Read together
In a courtyard, bright and wide,
Stands a building, full of pride,
With a facade of white and gold,
And a cupola, strong and bold.
Above the entrance, high and tall,
There's a frieze, so regal and royal,
And below it, a gallerie grand,
For the finest views of the land.
The walls are lined with molding fine,
And panels, polished, oh so divine,
Each one telling a story of old,
Of heroes brave and tales untold.
So come, young ones, and take a look,
At this building, like an open book,
Full of wonder, full of delight,
A true treasure, shining so bright.
Talk about it
Reflection
- What is your favorite part of the building described in the story, and why?
- What do you think the stories on the panels are about?
- If you could explore any part of the building, where would you go first and why?
- What would you do if you could spend a day in the courtyard where the building is located?
- What makes this building special, and how does it compare to other buildings you have seen?
