Ms Cathy is a music teacher who loves classical music. This year she came to a new school. For the first class, she wanted to show the students the beauty of classical music, so she took them to a classical concert in the afternoon.
To make the afternoon nicer, Ms Cathy gave everyone lemonade, cake and ice cream during the concert. The children were very happy. They smiled and thanked their teacher very much.
After two hours, the concert was over. Cathy was very happy because her students seemed to really enjoy the concert. “Did you enjoy yourself today?” She asked little Sally, one of her students.
“Oh, yes, Miss, it was great!” said Sally, “except for the music.”
