El búho y la gatita y otras canciones disparatadas

The Owl and the Pussy-cat are good friends. One day they go to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat.

They take some honey with them. They take a lot of money too. The money is in a five-pound note.

At night the Owl looks up at the stars. He plays a small guitar, and he sings a song to the Pussy-cat.

"Oh lovely Pussy, oh Pussy, my love," he sings. "What a beautiful Pussy you are! You are, you are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!"

The Pussy-cat is very happy. "Oh, Owl, you are so handsome," she says. "And you sing so sweetly! Let's get married. We can wait no more. But what can we do for a ring? We have no ring."

So they sail away. They sail for a year and a day. At last they come to the land where the Bong-tree grows.

In a wood there stands a little pig. And on the end of his nose, there is a ring. A ring on the end of his nose, his nose, his nose!
