French Lullabye
Posted by: | CommentsA pretty French lullabye about a hen. We’re not exactly sure how the pictures match the song, but they are lovely. Here’s a translation: It was a little black hen who would lay (an egg) in the cupboard. It lays a small egg which the child ate hot. It was a little white hen who would lay (an egg) in the barn. It lays a small egg which the child ate hot. It was a little red hen who would lay (an egg) in the moss. It lays a small egg which the child ate hot. It was a little brown hen who would lay (an egg) on the moon. It lays a small egg which the child ate hot.
