1. Here is the beehive. Where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Soon they come creeping out of the hive—
One!—two!—three! four! five!
2nd Verse.
2. Once I saw an ant hill
With no ants about;
So I said, “Dear little ants,
Won’t you please come out?”
Then as if the little ants
Had heard my call—
One! two! three! four! five came out!
And that was all! |
XIII. MRS. PUSSY'S DINNER
XIII.—MRS. PUSSY’S DINNER. Mrs. Pussy, sleek and fat,
With her kittens four,
Went to sleep upon the mat
By the kitchen door. Mrs. Pussy heard a noise—
Up she jumped in glee:
“Kittens, maybe that’s a mouse!
Let us go and see!” CREEPING
Creeping, creeping, creeping on,
Silently they stole;
But the little mouse had gone
Back within its hole. “Well,” said Mrs. Pussy then,
“To the barn we’ll go;
We shall find the swallow there
Flying to and fro.” So the cat and kittens four
Tried their very best;
But the swallows flying fast
Safely reached the nest! Home went hungry Mrs. Puss
And her kittens four;
Found their dinner on a plate
By the kitchen door.
As they gathered round the plate,
They agreed ’twas nice
That it could not run away
Like the birds and mice!
