Learning a Lesson

• Oh! Ants!
• Come with me and play,
• I don't like books and I don't like school.
• Oh! our dear boy,
• This is the time to gather food and store,
• We can't during the rainy season.
• 
  
• Oh! Birdie!
• Come with me and play,
• I don't  like books and I don't like school.
• Oh! my dear child,
• I have to build my nest,
• I have to lay the eggs,
• I must collect the twigs,
• Or it will be too late.
•  Oh! Doggie,
• Come with me and play,
• Oh! my master!
• How can I?
• I have to watch and guard your house,
• And bark at the strangers.
• I can't and I 'm sorry.
• Oh! Bee!
• Come with me and play,
• Oh! my darling!
•  I have to work hard,
• I have to fly from flower to flower,
• To gather honey.
• 
  
• Oh! ants,birdie,doggie and bee,
• All of you busy doing something,
• I must now go to school
• And learn my lessons,
• And I must like my books
• And my school.
