PIPING DOWN THE VALLEYS WILD
(First Reader, page 52)
AIM
To enable the pupils to appreciate the pretty pictures and the music, and to learn how their pretty songs were written.
PREPARATION
In far-away countries there are many sheep, and they require shepherds. These shepherds, as they can rest while their sheep feed, sometimes amuse themselves by cutting oat straws and making them into little flutes. They cut holes in the straws, just as you see holes in flutes or in tin whistles. They learn to play very pretty tunes. David, king of Israel, was, in his youth, a shepherd boy, and he learned to play beautiful music while he watched his sheep. The Psalms that you find in the Bible were composed by him.
