The tale of the silly little mouse Poem by Marshak for children

Sang at night the mouse in the hole:
"Go to sleep, the mouse, shut up!
I'll give you bread crust
And ogrodek candles.

She answers the mouse:
- Your voice is too thin.
Better mom, not food,
You to me the nurse look!

Ran the mouse-mother,
Was duck nurse to call:
- Come to us, aunt duck,
Our baby shake.

Started to sing a little mouse duck:
- Ha-ha-ha, sleep, baby!
After a shower in the garden
Worm you find.

Silly little mouse
Meets her half asleep:
"No, your voice is bad.
Too loud you sing!

Ran the mouse-mother,
Became a toad nurse to call:
- Come to us, aunt toad,
Our baby shake.

Was the toad, it is important to kakati:
- KVA-kVA-kVA, don't you cry!
Sleep, the mouse until the morning,
I'll give you a mosquito.

Silly little mouse
Meets her half asleep:
"No, your voice is bad.
Very boring you sing!

Ran the mouse-mother
Aunt horse nurse to call:
- Come to us, aunt horse,
Our baby shake.

- And-go-go! - sings the horse. -
Sleep, little mouse, sweet-sweet
Turn on the right side,
Ladies oats you bag.

Silly little mouse
Meets her half asleep:
"No, your voice is bad.
Very scary you sing!

Ran the mouse-mother
Aunt pig nurse to call:
- Come to us, aunt mumps,
Our baby shake.

Was the pig hoarse grunt,
Naughty cradle:
- Bayu-bauske, oink-oink.
Calm down, I say.

Silly little mouse
Meets her half asleep:
"No, your voice is bad.
Very roughly you sing!

Began to think the mouse-mother:
Need a chicken to call.
- Come to us, aunt lesser black-backed gull,
Our baby shake.

Clucked the hen:
Kood-where! Don't be afraid, baby!
Get under the wing:
There is quiet and warm.

Silly little mouse
Meets her half asleep:
"No, your voice is bad.
That way not fall asleep!

Ran the mouse-mother,
Was pike nurse to call:
- Come to us, aunt pike,
Our baby shake.

Started to sing a little mouse pike -
Not he heard no sound:
Raceway pike mouth,
Not heard that sings...

Silly little mouse
Meets her half asleep:
"No, your voice is bad.
Too quiet you sing!

Ran the mouse-mother,
Was the cat nurse to call:
- Come to us, aunt cat,
Our baby shake.

Started to sing a little mouse cat:
- Meow-meow, sleep, my baby!
Meow-meow, will go to sleep
Meow-meow, on the bed.

Silly little mouse
Meets her half asleep:
- Your voice is so good.
Very sweet you sing!

Ran the mouse-mother,
Looked at the bed,
Looking for silly little mouse,
But the mouse will not see...
