The Great Palace of Lies” is a creative short story to teach children how music can bring joy and happiness to all. hope you will all like it :) 

This part is a tale for our bedtime

There was once a tiny country that was suffering from a long drought. It had gone so long without rain that the people there were starting to go hungry because of the bad harvests.It just so happened that a group of musicians were travelling the country, trying to make a living from their concerts. But with so many problems in the land, no one felt like listening to music.

-"But music can help overcome any problems,"

objected the musicians, without anyone paying them the slightest attention.

So the musicians tried to find out the reason it wouldn't rain. It was very strange, because the sky was overcast, but no one could provide an answer.( Şevval and Berra wrote this part)

-"It's been cloudy like this for many months, but not a single drop of rain has fallen,"people would tell them.

-"Don't worry, we'll bring rain to the country,"the musicians responded, and they began rehearsing for a concert at the summit of the highest mountain.Everyone who heard the music was seized by curiosity and went up the mountain. And the conductor of this strange orchestra gave the order, and the musicians began to play.( Talha wrote this part)

From their instruments came small, playful musical notes, that rose and rose into the clouds. The music was so joyous, happy and fun, and the notes started playing with with the clouds' soft, fluffy bellies, running here and there, up and down, and the whole sky turned into one big game of tickle torture. Before long, the giant clouds were thundering with laughter.The musicians continued playing joyfully and a few minutes later the clouds, crying with laughter, soaked the little countrybelow with their precious tears, bringing happiness to all.And in memory of that musical rain, everyone in the land learned how to play an instrument and, taking turns, would go up the mountain every day to bring joy to the clouds with their beautiful songs ( Zehra and Zehra wrote this part)

Our opinions about the project / songs 

With this project I have learnt English vocabulary and grammar with fun. The singing was fun. ( Mert )

this Project was Interesting, we learn many thinks about grammar

Learning grammar is normaly not very interesting, but in this project we learnt grammar with music. This is more interesting and it is funnier.

Lemon tree was one of the songs that we sang, it was very funny and helpful to translate the song. It was also fun to sing the song.

Yesterday was good to learn the simple past.      ( Valerie )      

The project was very interesting   and helpful for our exam. 

Lemon tree 

It was a fun when we song together. (Hiba)

The project was very beautiful. We had a lot of fun and it was funny. Music makes grammar better.
Lemon tree
That's a good mood. And take away the fear of boredom. It is full of drive and full of energy. It's funny.
Yesterday.
I found it emotional. It also shows how the excitement of the past is so valuable. The song makes me happy because there are no problems. (Luisa)

Music is universal...

  ...so we are...

FAIRYTALE (Alexander Rybak) LYRICS 

Years ago, when I was younger,

I kinda liked a girl I knew.

She was mine, and we were sweethearts

That was then, but then it's true

I'm in love with a fairytale,

even though it hurts

'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind

I'm already cursed.

Every day we started fighting,

every night we fell in love

No one else could make me sadder,

but no one else could lift me high above

I don't know what I was doing,

when suddenly, we fell apart

Nowadays, I cannot find her

But when I do, we'll get a brand new start

I'm in love with a fairytale,

even though it hurts

'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind

I'm already cursed

She's a fairytale

Yeah...

Even though it hurts

'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind

I'm already cursed
