                        THE RHYME
 
 
I’ll sing for you, my dear,
One, two, three… little songs.
Watch your step climbing up
One, two, three… in your thongs.
 
 
Just look up at the sky
One, two, three… shiny stars.
Roses are flowering
One, two, three… in the yards.
 
 
Chorus:
I’m smiling, I am just —
One, two, three… having fun!
All together —
One, two, three… we’ll go far.
 
 
Look! Brook is running there,
One, two, three,
So am I.
Look! Plane is flying there,
One, two, three,
Fly, fly, fly.
 
 
Here comes the rain…
Gather one, two, three,
These mushrooms!
We all will read,
One, two, three,
Lovely magic books.
 

 
                                HEDGEHOG
 
 
Little crust, little crust,
Little crust of bread was lying.
Waiting for petty mouse,
Little crust was almost crying.
All in thought: «Where is mouse?
I badly need her coming!
Getting dry, Getting stale,
Nobody knows, I’m crumbing…»
 
 
Chorus:
Prickly hedgehog promenading around
Found little crust and was singing aloud.
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la,
And was singing aloud,
Tra-la-la,
Tra-la-la,
And was singing aloud.
 
 
Petty mouse walked around
Looking for some bread and sighing.
Underneath, on the floor
Little crust was always lying.
Petty mouse, all in grief, searching for little crust honing,
About prickly hedgehog the mouse not even knowing.
 

 
                          REDDISH ORANGE
 
 
Tubby teddy bear is climbing up the stairs,
He dreams of being thinner, wants to gain lightness.
 
 
Chorus:
He’s keeping to a diet, he said «goodbye» to food,
And even reddish orange can not change his mood.
 
 
The doll is in a hurry too, she wants to meet her friends.
Wearing dress with thingies, oh, she knows all fashion trends.
 
 
Chorus:
Fun-loving toys are also just taking some fresh air,
They don’t look at the orange, they just do not care.
 

 
                             SHADY SHADE
 
 
Little red kitty was walking around,
Singing hilarious songlet aloud.
Sunshine and blue sky – the day was so great,
Under the bush – shade!
 
 
Starling was flying and looking for bugs.
Red kitty saw him and gave him warm hugs.
Cried to the starling: «Mew! Hey you, hey you,
How old are you? Mew!»
 
 
Chorus:
Shade, shade, shady shade,
Walking is so great.
Day-day, ding-dong day,
Cheerful sunshiny day.
 
 
Starling is kitty’s best friend now – good guy,
Kitty – believe me – has learned how to fly.
Starling meows every morning aloud,
