“A dandelion whose fuzzy head Was golden days ago

Has turned to airy parachutesThat flutter when you blow”

Explore the meadow houses,The burrows in the ground

A nest beneath tall grasses,

The ant’s amazing mound.

You may discover these yourself,If you look and listen well.”

“Oh! Meadows have surprises

And many things to tell;
