Bed in SummerRobert Louis Stevenson In winter I get up at nightAnd dress by yellow candle-light.In summer quite the other way,I have to go to bed by day.I have to go to bed and seeThe birds still hopping on the tree,Or hear the grown-up people's feetStill going past me in the street.And does it not seem hard to you,When all the sky is clear and blue,And I should like so much to play,To have to go to bed by day? If all the seas were one sea If all the seas were one sea, What a great sea that would be! If all the trees were one tree, What a great tree that would be! And if all the axes were one axe, What a great axe that would be!And if all the men were one man, What a great man that would be! And if the great man took the great axe, And cut down the great tree And let it fall into the great sea,What a splish-splash that would be! Three Little MiceThree Little MiceThree little mice walked into town,Their coats were grey, their eyes were brown,Three little mice went down the streetWith woolly slippers on their feet.Three little mice sat down to dineOn bread and butter and milk and wine.Three little mice ate on and on,Till every bit of bread was gone.Three little mice, when the feast was done,Went home quickly one by one.Three little mice went straight to bedAnd dreamt of milk and bread. Pussy catOne day pussycat sees a little mouse. She says,«Come, little Mouse, come and stay with me,I’ll give you bread and cheese for tea.»But the mouse is very clever.

I couldn't speak her language, But I took her by the hand.We danced together, Had such fun, Dancing is a language You can speak with anyone. The toys’ playtimeWhen we go to bed at the end of the day,Our toys wake up and start to play.They wait until we’re fast asleep,Then THEY come alive and out they creepThe ball goes bouncing. The doll does a dance.The little ponies preen and prance.The toy car roars across the room.The rocket starts to take off: ZOOM!But when the sunlight warms our faces,The toys sit quietly in their places.They do not move. They make no noise.You don’t fool us, you naughty toys! What is red? What is red? Asks little Fred. His brother says, The rose is red. What is white? My kite is white. Do you see my little kite?
