Once upon a time, in a land far away,
There was a group of musicians who loved to play.
They formed a folk band, with instruments galore,
And played music that made people want to dance on the floor.

They dreamed of playing in a symphony orchestra one day,
But for now, they practiced and played every night and day.
They had a cihuela, a sombrero, and even a mariachi,
And with their binoculars, they could see far into the sky.

One of them played the ukulele with such grace,
While the others sang and played their instruments in place.
They would often serenade the people in the town,
And they would listen to the music, with smiles all around.

So if you ever see a folk band on the street,
Stop and listen to the music, it's such a treat.
And maybe one day, you'll see them in a symphony,
Playing music for all to hear, and making history.

Reflections

1. What kind of instruments did the folk band play and which one did you like the most?
2. Why do you think the musicians wanted to play in a symphony orchestra one day?
3. How do you think the people in the town felt when the band played their music and serenaded them?
4. What kind of music would you like to hear the folk band play if you saw them on the street?
5. If you could join the band, which instrument would you like to play and why?
