A was an ant
Who seldom stood still,
And who made a nice house
In the side of a hill.

Nice little ant!

B was a book
With a binding of blue,
And pictures and stories
For me and for you.

Nice little book!

Who ran after a rat;
But his courage did fail
When she seized on his tail.

Crafty old cat!

With spots on his back,
Who lived in the water,
And always said "Quack!"
d!
Dear little duck!

Stately and wise:
He had tusks and a trunk,
And two queer little eyes.
