Five girls, three boys in the house of fun squeak ... Maggie Rudy

For mostochkom on the hill
Under the hazel bush
In a small cozy burrow
Mice were greyish house.
And this mom-and-mouse
Eight greyish mice:
Five girls, three boys
The house is a fun squeak.

Carpeted their cribs
And have breakfast in the morning,
Dispatched myshatki
The clearing play.
Play volleyball bumps
Their rope - a thin rod.
Five girls, three boys
Race run.

Mouse sews, cooks, knits,
She is full of trouble.
Good tale to tell,
When evening comes.
Manages mom-and-mouse
Feed and cuddle.
Five girls, three boys,
Eating dinner, go to bed.

For mostochkom on the hill
Under the hazel bush
In a small cozy burrow
Our mouse gray house.
Sleeping tired kids,
Only spouts sopyat -
Five girls, three boys ...
Mom, too, can sleep.
