She would make bouquets and flower wreaths and sell them at the market square. But one day, when Chestnut went on a walk to collect more flowers, she found a big black hill blocking her way.

I Left My Coat in a Tree

I left my coat

Hanging on a tree.

A few days later

What do I see?


A small bird nest

In my small coat hood.

In that nest were eggs,

And I thought that was good.


A few days later

What do I see?

Three or four hatchlings

In my coat in the tree.


A couple of days later

A storm came along.

I found my coat on the ground

And the hatchlings were gone.


I left my coat

Hanging on a tree.

I hope the chicks flew away

And are happy and free.
