could be content.
(Mouse)
You would scarcely believe
That one dwarf could heave
A whole mountain range
On our lawn. That is strange!
(Mole)
How foolish I am.
Why am I drawn to the flame
Which extinguishes?
(Moth)
As black as ink and is not ink,
As white as milk and is not milk,
As soft as silk and is not silk,
And is a thief but does not know it.
(Magpie)
Without hammer or hands
A house now stands.
(Nest)
A house of wood in a hidden place
Built without nails or glue
High above the earthen ground
It holds pale gems of blue.
(Nest)
Look closely and you will find
A home of a different kind,
For I'm built with stones or bricks
But moss, leaves, and broken sticks,
I'm found near banks, hedgerows too,
Or hidden high away from you.
(Nest)
Hoot! Hoot! Hoot!
I wonder if you know
This night bird's name
It begins with an O.
(Owl)
My first is in ocean but never in sea,
My second's in wasp but never in bee,
My third is in glider and also in flight,
My whole is a creature that comes out at night.
(Owl)
I hunt in woods and gardens
With black, beady eyes,
My young are hatched in nests,
Some say I'm very wise,
My beak is hooked, my claws are strong,
I sleep throughout the day,
With feathers that are soft and smooth
Quietly, I fly away.
(Owl)
I snack on my back,
Crack my dinner on my chest —
Bliss in the water.
(Otter)
I run very fast,
My legs are long,
When others are tired
I am still going strong,
My head is quite small,
My neck is stretched high,
I am the largest bird
But I cannot fly.
(Ostrich)
My first is twice in apple
But not once in tart.
My second is in liver
But not in heart.
My third is in giant
And also in ghost.
Whole I'm best when I am roast.
(Pig)
Gaudily feathered,
With nothing at all to say,
I can't stop talking
(Parrot)
More eyes have I than I do need for sight,
A cry have I that is both sharp and clear,
A tail have I more fit for show than flight,
Admired am I wherever I appear.
(Peacock)
Don't think about it —
Just leave the vicinity
If you hear my tail.
(Rattling Snake)
Long ears, cotton tail,
His name begins with R.
For a tasty, crunchy carrot,
This animal will hop far.
(Rabbit)
I prefer a bed of lettuce to any other kind,
And frolicking about is most often on my mind.
My ears are long, and short my tail.
If you try to catch me you will fail.
(Rabbit)
I nibble green lettuce
To make me grow strong,
My tail's soft and fluffy,
But not very long,
My ears listen out
As I race with ease,
Then rest in the cornfield,
Or play in the breeze.
(Rabbit)
Who is he that runs without a leg
With his house on his back?
(Snail)
Its belly is linen
