22 SEPTEMBER 



THE CONCERT 



odors fireflies darkness thousand 

 crickets screeched 



All day long grasshoppers had sung their 

 song : 



Zip zip zip ze-e-e-e-e-e. 



And the bees had told their story : 



Hum hum hum. 



But now it was dusk. 



Grasshoppers and bees had gone to bed. 



The flowers sent out their sweetest odors. 



The fireflies lit up the darkness. 



And then the real concert began. 



"Katy did did did. 



" Katy didn't didn't did did did." 



" Tr-r-r-r-r-rdt," went the tree toad. 



A thousand crickets joined in the chorus. 



"Chirp! Chirp!! Chirp!!!" 



The frogs croaked. 



The screech owl screeched. 



******* 

 We know that this happens every night. 

 But would you believe it ? 

 Some people have never heard it.
