|  | This is our world we call the garden It sits behind the high wooden shed Amid the leaf covered ground, this is our bed We live out our lives, a life nobody sees We are happy and jolly, and we do what we please Piao and Liang are two of a kind One walked in front and the other behind Piao flew up in the sunny blue sky with fiery red wings With Liang by her side, these ladies in red Flew over the garden and over the high wooden shed Ru chang had a body that was both long and round He spent most of the day playing deep underground He enjoyed a good wiggle amongst the dry leaves But when the sun sank slowly behind the high wooden shed Ru chang and his friends knew is was soon time for bed Pangzi walked past a pipe that was all dark and hollow Pangzi took a quick look, then all shocked and surprised Shining out of the darkness, he saw two glowing green eyes It was like a monster creeping out of the night Pangzi couldn't more, he just froze there in fright
