Pull a Row Train
Ana Beatriz Ghirello
The little train goes up the mountain,
beautiful fields crosses.
Run, whistle,
until the station arrives.

Who goes there?
Who goes there?
I need to listen,
need to observe,
with all together
and beautiful to work.
Chico Cookie
Cecília Meirelles
At Chico Bolacha's farm
what you look for is never found.
When it rains a lot,
Chico plays on a boat,
because the farm turns into a pond.
When it doesn't rain at all,
Chico works on the hoe
and then it hurts,
and your hand is swollen.
That's why with Chico Bolacha
what you look for is never found.
They say that in chico's farm,
there's only chuchu
and a lame puppy
called Caxambu.
Other things nobody looks for
because you don't think so.
Poor Chico Bolacha.
