Sang Ben, Liz and Bess with cheer

“We love you much, we love you true.”

she sat alone. Ben grabbed the cone, and

slipped away, So Liz cried out, “For that

you’ll pay!”

Like cats and dogs the two did struggle

Each making sure to win the battle.

They tried to push and then to pull, While Mama almost

lost her cool.

laid. And helped to serve Mom’s friends

and guests

A fox said to a crow with a piece of cheese between its beak, “If you can sing as prettily as you sit, then you are the prettiest singer.”

The fox thought that once the crow starts to sing, the cheese would drop from her beak. But the crow carefully removed the cheese from the claws on one foot and said, “they say you are sly, but you cannot fool me”. Not giving up, the fox continued to praise the crow. “I wish I could hear you tell about your talents but I have to go look for food because I’m hungry”.
