“A female farmer planted a brown seed/ With a pit-a-pit, pit- a- pat, pit- a- pat- pat/ She watered the seed often and pulled up the weeds/ With a tug-tug at this, a tug-tug at that/ Rain flowed, wind blew, sun glowed/ The little seed grew tall and green in the sun/ With a push-push up here, and pushpush up there/A beautiful plant grew upright holding his head in the air.”
