second is in liver

      But not in heart.

      My third is in giant

      And also in ghost.

      Whole I'm best when I am roast.

      (Pig)

      Gaudily feathered,

      With nothing at all to say,

      I can't stop talking

      (Parrot)

      More eyes have I than I do need for sight,

      A cry have I that is both sharp and clear,

      A tail have I more fit for show than flight,

      Admired am I wherever I appear.

      (Peacock)

      Don't think about it —

      Just leave the vicinity

      If you hear my tail.

      (Rattling Snake)

      Long ears, cotton tail,

      His name begins with R.

      For a tasty, crunchy carrot,

      This animal will hop far.

      (Rabbit)

      I prefer a bed of lettuce to any other kind,

      And frolicking about is most often on my mind.

      My ears are long, and short my tail.

      If you try to catch me you will fail.

      (Rabbit)

      I nibble green lettuce

      To make me grow strong,

      My tail's soft and fluffy,

      But not very long,

      My ears listen out

      As I race with ease,

      Then rest in the cornfield,

      Or play in the breeze.

      (Rabbit)

      Who is he that runs without a leg

      With his house on his back?

      (Snail)

      Its belly is linen

      Its neck velvet

      Its mouth music

      Its tail a fork.

      (Swallow)

      My first is in fish and also in chips,

      My second's in mouth but not in lips,

      My third is ache but not in pain,

      My fourth is my third all over again,

      My fifth is in pupil but isn't in class,

      My whole is a beast that feeds on the grass.

      (Sheep)

      I move silently without wings,

      Between silvery, silken strings,

      And there stretched in the grass

      You'll see my web as you pass.

      (Spider)

      I'm a busy active creature,

      Full of mirth and play by nature,

      Nimbly I skip from tree to tree,

      To get the food that's fit for me,

      Then let me hear, if you can tell,

      What is my name and where I dwell.

      (Squirrel)

      I have a bushy tail

      And bright, brown eyes,

      My home is in a thee

      I've built up high,

      When snow is on the ground,

      Before summer ends

      My food I'll have found

      (Squirrel)

      I am slow I am.

      Slowest of the slow I am.

      In my tree I am.

      (Sloth)

      When I raise my tail,

      Expressing my displeasure,

      Even wolves make tracks.

      (Skunk)

      A squirrel has a bushy one.

      It starts with a T.

      My dog has a happy one.

      She wags it for me.

      (Tail)

      He rows quickly with four oars

      But never comes out from under his own roof?

      (Turtle)

      I can not fly, I can not run,

      I shelter from the mid-day sun,

      Upon my back my house is placed,

      I crawl along, but once I raced,

      And now when danger lurks around,

      Inside I pop, all safe and sound.

      (Tortoise)

      One where none should be,

      Or maybe where two should be,

      Seeking out purity,

      In the kings trees.

      (Unicorn)

      Big and gray,

      With so many teeth,

      Searching all day

      For flocks of sheep

      And helpless prey.

      (Wolf)

      This animal's name

      Begins with a Z.

      She looks like a pretty

      Spriped pony to me.

      (Zebra)

      I really come from Africa,

      But can be seen in zoos,

      I look like a horse

      And a donkey too,

      You really can't mistake me,

      I am a funny sight,

      I'm sure you will know

      My black and white stripes.

      (Zebra)

      Явления природы

      High in the sky

      I can see with my eye

      White horses are grazing.

      Isn't that amazing?

      (Clouds)

      Full and heavy it hangs in the skies,

      And feeds the earth as it cries.

      (Cloud)

      Fluffy and light,

      I live in the sky,

      My shape ever changing

      As I go by.

      (Cloud)

      What can you catch but not throw?

      (Cold)

      The greater it is

      The less you see of it.

      (Darkness)

      It can not be seen, cannot be felt,

      Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.

      It lies behind stars and under hills,

      And empty holes it fills.

      It comes first and follows after,

      Ends
