Gljive

Mushrooms

from the book The Frogs' Meeting (2005)

Pripazite, djeco,kad berete gljive,neke su crvene,neke opet sive.

Watch out, children, whenyou're mushrooming today:some of them are red,and some of them are grey.

Sve koje su lijepe,mora znati svatko,one su opasnei otrovne jako.

All the pretty ones,as everyone should know,are dangerous and verypoisonous, oh no!

Poneke su dobrei sasvim bez mane,ali sve do jednedrže suncobrane.

Some of them are good,quite perfectly made,but every one of themholds a parasol for shade.

Pa pogodi kojasad otrovna nije,kada svaku od njihisti sunce grije.

So guess which one of themis not a poisonous one,when every single oneis warmed by the same sun.

Zato, draga djeco,treba dobro znatikoju ćemo gljivuza ručak ubrati!

So, dear children, learnit well, before you munch:which mushroom is the oneto gather for our lunch!
