Over in the meadow,
In the sand in the sun,
Lived an old mother turtle
And her little turtle one.
“Dig,” said the mother.
“I dig,” said the one.
So they dug all day
In the sand in the sun.
Poetry

Over in the meadow,
Where the stream runs blue,
Lived an old mother fish
and her little fishes two.
32
“Swim,” said the mother.
“We swim,” said the two.
So they swam all day
Where the stream runs blue.
33
Over in the meadow,
In the wide oak tree,

In the wide oak tree.
