Over in the meadow in the sand in the sun, lived a bumpy mother toad and her little toadie one. "Wink!" said the mother; "I wink!" said the one. So they winked and they blinked in the sand in the sun. Over in the meadow where the sky gleams blue, lived a woolly mother sheep and her little lambies two. "Bah!" said the mother; "We bah!" said the two. So they baahed and they ran where the sky gleams blue. Over in the meadow in a hole in a tree, lived a smooth mother robin and her little robins three. "Sing!" said the mother; "We sing!" said the three. So they sang and they chirped in a hole in the tree. Over in the meadow in the reeds on the shore, lived a spiky mother muskrat and her little muskrats four. "Dive!" said the mother; "We dive" said the four. So they dived and they burrowed in the reeds on the shore. Over in the meadow in a snug beehive, lived a fuzzy mother bee and her little bees five. "Buzz!" said the mother; "We buzz!" said the five. So they buzzed and they hummed in the snug beehive. Over in the meadow in a nest built of sticks, lived a shiny mother crow and her little crows six. "Caw!" said the mother; "We caw!" said the six. So they cawed and they called in their nest built of sticks. Over in the meadow where the grass is so even, lived a furry mother mouse and her little mousies seven. "Squeak!" said the mother; "We squeak!" said the seven. So they squeaked and they sniffed in the grass soft and even. Over in the meadow by the old mossy gate, lived a scaly mother lizard and her little lizards eight. "Bask!" said the mother; "We bask!" said the eight. So they basked in the sun on the old mossy gate. Over in the meadow where the stream water shines, lived a slippery mother fish and her little fishes nine. "Swim!" said the mother; "We swim!" said the nine. So they swam and they leapt where the stream water shines. Over in the meadow in a sly little den, lived a hairy mother spider and her little spiders ten. "Spin!" said the mother; "We spin!" said the ten. So they spun lacy webs in their sly little den. | |
