Apartment for rent Bunny
The ant is gone, the bunny is coming ...
The neighbors come from all the apartments,
Standing around her, smiling at her:
- The nice rooms?
- Nice.
- Is the kitchen beautiful in your eyes?
- Nice.
- Is the hallway beautiful in your eyes?
- Nice.
- If - Yes, sit with us, the rabbit!
- I will not sit.
- Why ?
- The neighbors are not good in my eyes.
How shall I sit here, if I have twenty rabbits,
With Cuckoo abandoning the boys?
All her sons grew up in foreign nests, all of them
They are all abandoned.
What lesson will my children learn from them?
The cuckoo is offended,
And the bunny went.

The bunny went, a pig came ...
... The neighbors come from all the apartments,
Standing around him, smiling at him:
- Do you enjoy the apartment in your eyes?
- Nice.
- Is the kitchen beautiful in your eyes?
- Nice.
- Is the hallway beautiful in your eyes?
- Nice.
- If - Yes, sit down with us!
- No, I will not sit.
- Why ?
- The neighbors are not good in my eyes,
How I am a white pig from the days of the beginning will sit,,
In one fell swoop with a Negro cat!
I do not like it and I do not like it.
The neighbors called:
Go, go away pig!
It doesnt suit us either!

The nightingale went, Pigeon is coming ...
... All the neighbors come to her,
Standing around her, smiling at her:
- What do you like about the rooms?
The rooms are narrow.
- Is the kitchen beautiful in your eyes?
- Nice kitchen, but not spacious.
- Is the hallway beautiful in your eyes?
- It has a lot of shade, the hallway is dark.
- Well, you will not sit with us?
- I will sit happily,
Because the neighbors are good to me.
