Over in the meadow 345

Over in the meadow in a hole in a tree, Lived an old mother squirrel and her little squirrels three. “Nibble !” said the mother "We nibble!" said the three, So they nibbled all day in a hole in the tree. Over in the meadow, in the reeds on the shore, Lived an old mother otter and her little otters four “Dive!” said the mother; "We dive!” said the four, So they dived all day in the reeds on the shore. Over in the meadow,
In a snug beehive
Lived a mother honey bee
And her little bees five
“Buzz!" said the mother;
“We buzz!" said the five
So they buzzed all day
In the snug beehive.
