Little mouse

A little mouse came one day, From a land so poor and far away, It came to live in my house, This tiny, little, baby mouse!

The seasons’ song

The seasons of the year, The seasons of the year, In autumn, Red, yellow, orange and brown Leaves were falling down; Leaves were falling down.

In winter, Cold and chilly wind was going round, Round and round the town.

In spring, Red, yellow, white and pink Roses were blooming on the ground.

The seasons of the year, The seasons of the year.

In summer, The hot sun was worrying the town And making children brown!

The seasons of the year, The seasons of the year.

A rainy day

It was a hot day of July, Everyone was praying for rain.

Suddenly I saw a dark cloud in the sky, I wore my shorts And jumped in the street; It rained heavily, And continued for three hours, After the rain, A beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky; It was a lovely and beautiful day, I was happy to enjoy rain that day.

Ramazan

Ramazan has arrived, Peace is everywhere, Everyone feels thirsty, Rich or poor, All flock to the markets, Putting iftar stuff in baskets, Smile is on their faces, Fasting is a blessing, That doubles our joy in Eid!
