Tchaikovsky

Little Peter had tears in his eyes. “When will she be back?” he asked his father. “She won’t be long,” said Mr. Tchaikovsky. “Mama’s taking Nikolai to St. Petersburg to find you a governess. Don’t look so sad, Peter!” Peter’s little sister Sasha seemed to have already forgotten Mama. Suddenly Peter stood still. “Sasha!” he called. “I’ve got a great idea! Let’s make up a song for Mama. We can sing it to her when she comes back. We’ll call it ‘Our Mama in St. Petersburg’!” And he started to hum the tune.
