II
She saw a pretty squirrel and said,
“Dear squirrel, do you play and eat nuts all day long?
You do not work, do you?”
“Not work?” said the squirrel.
“Why, I am busy now.
I must put these nuts in my nest to eat next winter.
I can not stop to play with you.”
Just then a bee flew by.
“Tell me, bee!” said Amy.
“Have you work to do?”
“Buzz! Buzz!” said the bee.
“I am busy now getting honey from the flowers.
I can not stop to play with you.
Amy walked through the woods.
By and by she met an ant with a piece of sugar.
“I wish you would come and play with me,” said Amy.
“I am too busy to play with you,” said the ant.
“I must carry this sugar home for the little ants to eat.”
