5 - JINGLE BELLS Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride On a one-horse open sleigh Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh Over the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bob-tails ring Keeping spirits bright Oh What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight
BRAVI SIGNORI - G. Rodari Un signore di Scandicci buttava le castagne e mangiava i ricci. Un suo amico di Lastra a Signa buttava i pinoli e mangiava la pigna. Un suo cugino di Prato mangiava la carta stagnola e buttava il cioccolato. Tanta gente non lo sa e dunque non se ne cruccia: la vita la butta via e mangia soltanto la buccia.
IL CANE BASSOTTO Sono un povero cane bassotto lungo un metro e quarantotto con le zampe corte corte, per di più un poco storte. Così mi chiamano cane bugia ma la colpa è forse mia? Passeggiare è una gran pena se sei alto un palmo appena : in città soltanto vedi un panorama di tutti piedi, cento pestoni sono sicuri! Se in campagna t'avventuri sull'erbetta la pancia strisci e pel solletico impazzisci. I bimbi, ridono quando passo : '' Un cane nano! Uh, quant'è basso! Non sono alto, certo l'ammetto, ma perbacco un po' di rispetto, o da mio cugino can- poliziotto vi farò dare uno scappellotto . E poi, signorini alti un metro, se mi rizzo sulle zampe di dietro, tutti voi dei nani diventate, neanche all'ombelico m'arrivate!
