I
met a squirrel.
He said to me,
"I'm gonna climb up the chestnut tree."
I asked, "What for?"
He said, "You'll see
when I get to the top of the chestnut tree."
He turned and hopped
away from me
and ran up the bark of the chestnut tree.
He climbed as high
as he could be
to the tippity top of the chestnut tree.
He was so high
I couldn't see
what he did at the top of the chestnut tree.
Then that squirrel
ran down to me
waiting at the bottom of the chestnut tree.
The squirrel sat down
and then said he,
"Here's a little gift from the chestnut
tree."
He opened his mouth
and he showed me
chestnuts from the top of the chestnut tree.
I asked, "What for?"
"Because," said he,
"There's one for you and there's one for
me."
Two chestnuts
from the chestnut tree
For a squirrel like him and a squirrel like me. |
