       骄阳似火。近中午了,可赶集的人还似一股股流水,从四面八方汇集到这弯弯的小路上,形成一条奔流的人河。在人流中,一个小姑娘正推着满满一车杏子摇摇晃晃地走着。路窄,人挤。突然,“唿啦”一声,黄澄澄、水灵灵的甜杏儿在地上滚动起来。呀!无数只脚就要踩到杏子,怎么办?……”
这时,一个洪钟似的喊声压倒吵嚷声:“千万别动!”人群立时静下来,接着,一个拄拐棍的老人弯腰去捡杏子,一个抱孩子的妇女弯腰去捡,一个红领巾弯腰去捡,一个小伙子弯下腰……
     “完了!”姑娘心头一颤,五年前的情景一幕幕浮现在脑海里:一条小路弯弯曲曲,一个小姑娘挑一担苹果在路上走着。拥挤的人流碰翻了筐子,蜂拥而上的人争抢着果子。吃果子的人嘻笑着散开,姑娘掩面哭泣。这姑娘,正是她自己。
    “闺女,别着急。”老人把捡到的杏子放进车里,打断了姑娘的追忆。
    “姑姑,给你。”妇女怀中的孩儿用小手捧着杏儿喊。红领巾踮着脚,努力把捧杏的手伸过来……姑娘不敢相信自己,她擦去泪花,睁大眼睛:不错,都捡回来了,满满的一车杏子。这时,一股清凉的风儿轻轻飘来,姑娘紧锁的眉头舒展开了,脸上泛起了红晕,似一朵乍放的红彤彤的花,可泪花又蒙住了她的眼……噢,是风儿吹到这弯弯的小路上,吹走了千万人心头的炎热,吹开了姑娘脸上的花……

    Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson had to pay $1,500 to have “Happy Birthday to You” sung in the movie she's making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show, a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.

    “I never thought the song was owned by anyone,” Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”

    Nelson's movie is a documentary — a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to create a factual report of real-life events — and is actually about the history of the “Happy Birthday” song itself.

    Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters' song.

    A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the “Happy Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song, but they believe it was being sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.

    Nelson's lawyers say this piece of music's history proves that “Happy Birthday to You” belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.

    Experts estimate that Warner/ Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.”

    Nelson's lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.
