One fine day
On a tree there lay
A jet black crow
Who asked the lawn below
Why aren't you as white as the swan?
or false colour as brass
Oh! You long lawn! You've got only grass!
"My cousins are the leaves
Which long ago I have to weave!"
But you are just as small as a twig!"
How do you make leaves
Grow on trees so big?
Before the tree could grow
How small he was do you know?
He was even smaller than me!
But now he's such a big tree!
When he was down with me
I made him to grow
Now I am very angry
As he deprives me growing!
