Verse XIII
Englische Kinderverse
There Was An
Owl
There was an owl who lived in an oak. The more he
heard, the less he spoke; the less he spoke, the more he heard- We all
should be like that wise old bird
Over in the
Meadow
Over in the meadow, In a hole in a tree,
Lived an old mother owl, And her little owls three. "Tu-whoo," said
the mother, "Tu-whoo," said the three, So they tu-whoo-ed all day,
In a whole in a tree. |
Mr. Owl
Late at night when you're in bed, Mr. Owl perks up his
head. He looks left and he looks right, In the dark all through the
night. Hear him hoot when you're in bed, When Mr. Owl perks up his
head.
The Owl
in the Tree I saw an owl. He sat in a tree.
He opened one eye. He winked at me. |
Ten Hungry Owlets
Ten
hungry owlets sat in a tree. The first one said, "Where's our mommy?
The second one said, "I want to eat." The third one said, "I'd like
some meat." The fourth one said, "I need something for my tummy." The
fifth one said, "I hope it's something yummy." The sixth one said, "Where,
oh, where can our mom be?" The seventh one said, "She's on a hunting
spree." The eighth one said, "I wish we could fly." The ninth one said,
"Let's give it a try." The tenth one said, "Fly! Fly! We can fly!"
Mother Owl came back and said, "You all need some rest." Ten
tired owlets flew back to their nest. |
The Owl
There's a wide-eyed owl (forefingers and thumbs around
eyes) With a pointed nose, (forefinger and thumb to make a point)
He has pointed ears (clenched hands, forefingers up for ears) And
claws for toes: (make hands into claws) He sits in a tree And looks at
you; (circles around eyes again) Then flaps his wings and says,
(hands to chest and flap elbows) "Tu-whit, tu-whoo!" (hands cup
mouth to hoot) .
Mr. Owl
Said Mr. Owl, sitting in a tree, "How would you like To be like me?
I sleep all day In the bright sunlight, And look for my dinner In
the middle of the night!" |
Five Little
Owls
5 little owls, On a branch by the shore, 1 fell
off, Then there were 4.
4 little owls, High in a tree, The
wind blew hard, Then there were 3. 3
little owls, None of them
knew, A raven took one, Then there were 2.
2 little owls,
Sitting in the sun, A raccoon came along, Then there was 1.
1 little owl, I n the setting sun, Flew off to the forest,
Then there were none. |
