Two little kittens, one stormy night,
Began to quarrel, and then to fight.
“I’ll have that mouse!” said the bigger cat. “You’ll have that mouse? We’ll see about that!”
Two little kittens

“I WILL HAVE THAT MOUSE,” SAID THE OLDER ONE. “You shan’t have the mouse,” said the little one. I told you before ‘twas a stormy night, When these two little kittens began to fight. The old woman seized her sweeping broom, And swept the two kittens right out of the room.

The House That Jack Built
This is the house that Jack built.
This is the corn,
That lay in the house that Jack built

Дом, который построил Джек

Вот дом,
Который построил Джек
А это пшеница,
Которая в тёмном чулане хранится
В доме
Который построил Джек
