[Quote from Book 1]
"The Egg" "What a strange form I have,
Really big problem!
Is in the whole big world
I will not find a friend? "
[Quote from book 2]
The flower "Dressed up as a red flower:
Painted her face red,
Pasted blue leaves around,
And thats it!
What a strange flower a girl said
He is smooth and bald in general
It has no smell "
[Quote from Book 3]
The Balloon Met the egg balloon
We are so similar, she told him.
We are both round. Lets roll together!
But the balloon was inflated and arrogant
And did not want to answer at all.
He was pulled up to him
And rose and blossomed for him from thenceforth.
[Quote from book 4]
The clown The egg disguised as a clown
Wear a bonnet with a strand
And drew on herself
(In the order)
Eyebrows, eyes, nose and laughter.
[Quote from Book 5]
The chicken Where have you been, my egg. I have long wanted to sit on you. Incubate of course.
Mom, I do not want, said the egg,
Let me roll in the world.
maybe another time,
Said the incubator
And already incubated on it.
