Over in the Meadow

Olive A Wadsworth Ages 6-7 79 words

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 she winked and 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.

A sunny meadow with a mother toad and her baby winking in the sand, and a mother fish with two little fish leaping in a blue stream

“Swim,” said the mother;
“We swim,” said the two;
So they swam and they leaped
Where the stream runs blue.
