First Music Lesson

The first graders were attending their first music lesson.
The teacher was trying to begin at the beginning. She drew a musical staff on the blackboard and asked a little girl to come up and write a note on it.
The little girl went to the blackboard, looked thoughtful for a minute and wrote . . .
. . . "Dear Aunt Emma, just a short note to tell you I'm fine."
