‘‘No, no, no,’’ says the stick, hopping out of the

rabbit’s mouth. Off he runs down the road –

clickety, clackety, clunk!

Then, the stick meets a farmer. ‘‘Hello, hello!’’

says the stick. ‘‘Do you need me, farmer dear?’’

‘‘Yes, yes,’’ says the farmer. He holds the

stick and beats a cow.

‘‘Mooouch!’’

Says the cow, crying

loudly. ‘‘No, no, no,’’

says the stick, hopping

out of the farmer’s hand, ‘‘Don’t hit

the cow.’’

The stick runs away – clickety-

clackety-clunk–down the road.

Then, the stick meets an old man.

‘‘Hello,’’ says the stick. ‘‘Do you need me, Grandpa dear?’’ ‘‘Oh, yes!

Good day! Fine day! Lucky day!’’ Says the old man, leaning on the

stick to walk. Clickety-clackety-clunk, they go together down the

road.

hopping — to jump on one leg ; leaning — to bend your body forward
