[Quote from Book 1]
Pluto a puppy from Kibbutz Megiddo.
It has everything: soup and bone,
Its good and beautiful. But, actually,
Hes tired of sitting like that alone.
He tore the rope, barking "Heb-heb!"
He jumped quickly and lifted his legs,
He runs on the road, he runs in the fields.
Who will he meet? Very interesting!
Lea Goldberg
[Quote from book 2]
A greenish, strange creature, who knows,
What is the name of the creature? I think "Frog!"
"Hello!" Says Pluto. And what is the answer?
The frog replies to Pluto "Kwa, kwa!"
She said "Kwa Kwa" and jumped to the pool.
And Pluto went ashore. He is happy,
Today is beautiful. The daffodil blooms.
Sitting on the flower is a great creature.
"It seems to me that the creatures name is a butterfly!"
Lea Goldberg
