Beneath the white gum trees,

By the peaceful flowers,

Among the grasses live mice,

Nearby snakes are watching. 

 

Around the trees ready to strike, 

Out come the snakes but…

Down below the mice escape,

Above the ground the snakes are starting to starve.

 

After days and days without food,

Before long, the snakes are dying,

Around the bend the snakes slither,

Above the ground, behold there is lots of food!

 

After the snakes find food,

Snakes slither home,

Find it destroyed

Before long, the snakes are killed.
