Freedom and cats:

Cats sleep everywhere

Where they want to sleep

They don’t mind whether

It’s on a piano or a

video-game.

Cats live everywhere

Where they want to live

They don’t mind whether

It’s in a house or a field.

Cats eat everything

What they want to eat

They don’t mind whether

It’s meat or milk.

School:

School, school

How great is school

Teaching us good things

And making us good human beings.

Teachers, teachers

How great are teachers

With the help of teacher

We can make ourselves better.

Friends, friends

Oh! My dear friends

We should be true friends

And we should make good friends.

Wish:

I wish I were a butterfly

I could fly so high

I wish I were a tree

Every bird would sit on me

I wish I were a boy

I could play with many toys

I wish my name were Bob

I could take bath in a tub
