Chapter 607

In the library of Wei En Manor, Bruce again piled all kinds of books on a table; Dick was still holding that ladder that was much taller than him, searching between the bookshelves.

After the "click" sound of the ladder sliding across the bookshelf, Dick exclaimed and said: "Oh! There is another book here, I didn't see it before!"

Saying that, he found a book that looked very old from the gap between the two bookshelves, picked it up, patted the dust on it with his hand, blew on the cover, and opened the first page.

Then, he ran to Bruce with the book and said: "Mr. Wei En, look at this one, this book is a bit strange."

Bruce took the book, opened it, and discovered that it was introducing nursery rhymes circulating locally in Cat Getan.

Every city will have its own circulating ditties; although Cat Getan cannot be called ancient, the history of development is very complex, so it has also derived a unique musical atmosphere; although in modern times, the music market Cat Getan focuses on is gangsta rap, there was also a period of time when divine ditties and nursery rhymes were widely known.

This book is introducing various nursery rhymes, as well as the content of their lyrics, and the source stories of the lyrics content.

Most nursery rhyme lyrics in the world are very simple, basically two or three sentences singing back and forth, which helps children remember the key content of the lyrics.

However, one nursery rhyme in this book appears very special, and that is the one "Court of Owls, monitoring your travel at all times..."

That's right, the name of this nursery rhyme is "Court of Owls, monitoring your travel at all times"; it has such a long name, so the content can be imagined.

Every line of lyrics in this nursery rhyme is different, and there is not a single line of lyrics that is repeated; singing from beginning to end is harder than reciting poetry.

However, this book records that this nursery rhyme was once the most widely circulated nursery rhyme in Cat Getan; at that time, almost every child was singing it.

Bruce, staring at the text on it, seemed to see children in the alleys of Cat Getan in the night rain singing "Court of Owls... monitoring your travel at all times...", and right behind them, many pairs of owl eyes lit up.

Bruce keenly sensed the problem here, but he still looked at Dick, then handed the book to him; Bruce said to Dick: "Can you sing this song?"

Dick took the book, looked at the long string of lyrics and frowned; he said: "I'll try."

Then, he focused his attention on staring at that book, stared for almost 20 minutes, before barely singing that nursery rhyme, but it was still stumbling, and he stopped in the middle several times.

Besides the lyrics being very complex, the tune of this song is also very awkward; many people know that the tune of a nursery rhyme should be higher than an ordinary song, because regardless of boys or girls, before the voice change period, the pitch is higher; many tunes that are a bit high for adults are just right for them.

However, the tune of this song is very low and deep; even if Dick's voice change period is almost over, singing this song is still a bit strenuous; even if an ordinary adult comes to sing, this kind of tune will be a bit low.

After a period of getting along, Bruce felt that he already understood Dick relatively well; he is a very smart child, learns everything very quickly, but he really doesn't like rote memorization; instead, he stands out in various activities at school.

Also because he practiced acrobatics before, his body coordination is very good, and he also has an advantage in sports; he even participated in the middle school high jump team; it can be said that he is a typical example of comprehensive development.

After returning to his room, Dick found that Aisha was waiting for him holding a storybook; Dick walked over, took the storybook and flipped through it, saying: "Where did we read to? Let me see... oh, this book has been finished."

Aisha stared at him with big eyes; Dick sighed and explained: "No way, we can't go to the library anymore."

"Opening the door of the library requires a key; the key is with Alfred; now Alfred should have already slept; we can't go disturb him anymore; that is impolite."

Aisha revealed a wronged expression, jumped up, grabbed that book from Dick's hand, and then turned around and left; Dick grabbed her and said: "Don't be angry, we can do something else if we don't tell stories, hmm, let me think..."

"That's right, I participated in the school choir before; the teacher taught a few songs, but I don't really like singing them."

Dick pulled Aisha to sit down; he hugged the blanket, thought for a while and said: "A few days ago I was organizing materials for Mr. Wei En, he asked me to learn a song, I think it's quite good, I'll teach you to sing, how about it?"

Aisha tilted her head, seemingly not knowing what song Dick was talking about, or rather, she actually couldn't understand what a song was at all; Dick tried hard to recall that song, and then said: "Forget it, no, that song is too complex for you; I memorized the lyrics for a long time."

Aisha called out; Dick immediately turned his head to look at her and said: "You are sure you want to learn? It's really quite difficult..."

Aisha nodded hard; Dick said helplessly: "Alright, don't be angry if you haven't learned it by then."
