To see a cat catching a mouse, is no news;
But to see a rat building a house, is strange indeed!
Some rats take delight to gnaw
Houses down—
I want to build a good
House of my own.
To see a bird picking at fruit, is no news;
But to see a dog playing the flute, is strange indeed!
You see I am playing here,
Too, too, too, too;
When I've done with my flute,
I'll give it to you.
To see a greyhound catch a hare, is no news;
But to see a lamb hunting a bear, is strange indeed!
