Read together
Let me tell you a story, dear young ones,
Full of words that will make you have fun.
Once upon a time, in a kitchen sink,
Were dishes piled up, oh my, what a thing!
So, we took them out, one by one in sequence,
And placed them on a rack with great reverence.
Then we gave them a rotation,
So each dish could have a new position.
We added up the numbers, the sum we got,
To see how many dishes we had, a lot!
But wait, what's that growing in the pot?
A carrot, a beet, and a little radish dot.
Their roots were strong, their colors bright,
A healthy snack, a real delight.
Now, let's sort them by their shape,
A carrot stick, a beet slice, no need for tape.
Let's take a moment for relaxation,
And enjoy our little vegetable creation.
We'll cut them into a segment,
And take a bite, it's a perfect moment.
Our table is set, our tummies are full,
We had fun with words, let's go, time to be cool!
Talk about it
