Shatatsu Fairy Tale

The cats said in despair:

«We're tired of meowing!

 Like the piglets now,

 Let's go snoring together!»

 And the ducks say:

«We sing like frogs,

In all sorts of ways!»

The pig says: Meow, meow!

The cat says: Oink, oink, oink!

The duck says: Quack, quack, quack!

The chicken says: Cluck, cluck, cluck!

The sparrow says: Moo-oo-oo!

The bear says: Cock-a-doodle-doo!

The cuckoo came jumping:

Determined to be a dog: Woof, woof, woof!

Only the rabbit remained calm,

It didn't jump or run away.

«You speak as you wish,

Why bother with others?

I won't lie,

Just rambling for no reason.

Confusing everything,

Don't end up regretting it.»

The geese said: Honk-honk-honk!

The cat said: Purrr-purrr-purrr!

The birds said: Tweet-tweet!

 The horse said: Neigh-neigh-neigh!

The fly said: Buzz-buzz!

The frog said: Ribbit-ribbit-ribbit!

 The duck said: Quack-quack-quack!

 The piglet said: Oink-oink-oink!

In the forest, the bear sings: Hush-a-bye!
