Can someone give me a free and legal sheet music for a song or melody cosisting of only the notes F, G, A, B and C of the next octave?

The website http://www.sibeliusmusic.com has a lot of great music, and a lot of it is free.
With these notes as a constraint, it will be hard to search, but perhaps if you search for music for beginner students you will find something.
Another alternative is to find a specific composer on Sibelius, who writes easy/beginner studies and pieces, and send him/her an email. Sometimes they are happy to come up with something that will work.
Why are you looking for such a piece?

Though not 100% "free", there are many, many exercises (containing simple melodies) like the one you are requesting, in Flute Initiation books. Most use only those notes, as they are the easier to play during initial learning.
The first book I used was Trevor Wye's "Initiation to the Flute". I remember "Air de Buffons", for example, a French melody of the XVI century. It is on page 13 of my (Spanish) version. I liked it a lot and was quite happy once I could play it reasonably fast.
BTW, it is a simple duet with a second flute (normally it would be your teacher), who plays basically the same line, sometimes going a third (two note intervals) down from the student line. So, 2nd flute goes down to a low D in this simple but nice piece.
But you do not have to have someone playing the second part. It is there in case you have a teacher, but I suppose it is not your case. Or you can learn both parts, make a simple recording of the other and then play with yourself.
Anyway, there are many other exercises like this in the book, to a total of 43, with increasing difficulty (relatively).
I suggest you buy a book (new, used) and follow the exercises as included. They follow a method and it is the best way (IMHO) to advance in the learning.
A book like this is very cheap, probably around 10 US$ or less. I hope you can make that small effort. In case you cannot, I could rewrite this 8 measures "score" for you and post it, together with a midi or mp3. I suppose that there would be no copyright involved... Or would it be?
I hope you enjoy it!

It would be lovely if you can pm me the 8 measure "score". Or you can post it here
I'd really love to practice. I feel so happy whenever I play!

Every beginning tutor book for flute and recorder has a few such tunes in it. Look at these books in a music shop.
But that particular combination of notes is pretty limiting. No D and no Bb. You will soon be playing a lot more notes. :-)
You could play "Mary Had a Little Lamb', starting on A.
How about this ditty, from some beginner book:
All quarter notes (crotchets).... all the same length... play it all in one breath.
GCAC GBBB GBAB GCCC GCAC GBBB GBAB GCC(rest!)
My beginners used to like it years ago.

OK, I have mailed it (pdf score and mp3) directly to your email address..
The mp3 has both flutes playing in duet, so the sound may be a little confusing at the beginning.
The same comments as for the chromatic scale apply (pitch 440, synthesized instruments).
Although I am happy to help, let me insist on the fact that you will hardly advance if you remain without teacher AND without a book. The method is essential for advancing and you will, most probably, need a teacher to correct problems and direct your progress.
Also, a normal beginner year with private lessons once a week (according to my personal experience) takes about 40 different exercises and songs, of increasing difficulty, plus lots of scales and other activities.
You cannot expect to get all that music posting here (or anywhere else).
Maybe you could provide some details of what your difficulties are (for example living in an isolated country, acute lack of money, etc.) In this way it is probable that some Forum member could help you in concrete ways such as mailing a free second hand learning book or similar help.
Just an idea...

Thank you so much!
Actually, I already have a teacher. I'm just waiting to buy a copy of the Rubank elementary method from him.
I REALLY appreciate your help

I do not understand. If you have a teacher already, why do you keep asking for such simple things as "how does the instrument sound" or "easy few note song" to practice?

My beginner students often benefitted from consolidation material in adition to what was in the chosen tutor book.
Perhaps this is a case of the student being astute enough to know that this would be beneficial in his/her case.
If so, that is to be commended! :-)

OK Micron, I think you enjoy a positive thinking and this is good.
I sometimes feel some people are pulling my legs and just hope it is not the case with this thread. Or maybe I am becoming an obsessive paranoid...
