May Allah tumble me into the Lake, And none any news of me ever take! Then the Dove leaped into the Lake, and flew to the limb of a tree on the shore, and was proved innocent. Then the Duck went down and said: But But, But, I am the Butta Duck, But, But, But, My food is wheat and muck; But, But, But, If I ate the growing crop, May I suddenly throw it up! May Allah tumble me into the Lake, And none any news of me ever take! So the Duck leaped into the Lake, and then flew to the limb of a tree on the shore and was proved innocent. Then the Goose went down and said: Wez, Wez, Wez, I am the Goose and the Wez, Wez, Wez, Wez, I eat Egyptian riz, (rice), Wez, Wez, Wez, If I ate the growing crop, May I suddenly throw it up! May Allah tumble me into the Lake, And none any news of me ever take! So the Goose leaped into the Lake and then flew to the limb of a tree on the shore and was proved innocent. |
