英语美文：童趣童真
英语课
Two little kids went out to play
In their backyard one summer day.
They gazed at cotton candy sky,
And argued as the clouds sailed by.
"There goes a fluffy 2 sheep!" Tim cried,
As Kimmy scrutinized 3 the sky.
"I do not see a sheep," she said.
"I see a flock of birds, instead."
"How lovely are the birds!" said he.
"Look there's a swarm 4 of bumble bees,
And there goes a train, a foot long!"
"Oh no brother, you are so wrong."
"Pesky Kimmy, don't be a pain,
'Cos you are driving me insane.
Go away and leave me alone
To just imagine on my own!"
"Okay then, I'll leave you alone,
But when you see a shape unknown,
Do not go screaming out to me,
'Cos I won't tell you what I see."
"Leave me alone and let me be,
I don't need you to play with me!"
Feeling lonely, she blurted 5 out,
"If you need me just give a shout!"
