Over in the Meadow

Over in the Meadow

Over in the meadow, in the sand in the sun, lived an old 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 stream runs blue, lived an old mother fish and her little fishes two. “Swim!” said the mother. “We swim!” said the two. So they swam and they leaped where the stream runs blue.

Over in the meadow, in a hole in a tree, lived an old mother bluebird and her little birdies three. “Sing!” said the mother. “We sing!” said the three. So they sang and were glad in a hole in the tree.

Over in the meadow, in the reeds on the shore, lived an old mother muskrat and her little ratties 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 mother honey 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.
