in the village, that little girl walked on the crossroad and she goes left with a whirl

then she saw a chicken walking and there was the white horse followed by the man in grey, king

Two of my three daughters had English lessons on Tuesday. So, I asked them what they had learned. They learned the words in bold. I loved to make this free verse poem with the words they had learned.

Would you also play? Everyone is allowed to play along!
