ГЛАЗ
Willie was an onion,
Вилли слабым вырос,
In the onion now,
Слабым словно лук,
But he was so lazy
Был незрелым Вилли
He would not grow.
Взял его испуг.
Along came a cut-warm
Вот приходит рез-
One dark night;
кость
Willie was so thin
Ранних злых ночей;
He couldn’t fight.
Вилли скинул кепку
The moral is here:
Не боровшись с ней.
Grow while you may
Всем известно стало:
To fight the cut-warms
Вышел нам указ
That came your way.
Для борьбы, сначала
Подрасти на глаз.

DO YOU KNOW
Here in my money-box I see Twelve brown pennies kept for me.
One I took to buy one day
A big balloon that flew away.
Another time with pennies two I bought a ball of red and blue.
I bought three penny roses red When Mummy was so ill in bed.
Two other pennies once I took To buy my Sunny Stories book.
And two pence went on sweets for Meg When she fell and broke her leg.
And then I gave another penny To a man who hadn’t any
And now I’d like you please to say How many have I left today?
ЗАДАЧКА
Раз. два, три, четыре. пять
Сколько зайчиков поймать?
Шесть, семь, восемь, девять, десять
Лучше отпустить их к лесу.
