For Easter on straw

Children against the sun

Playing with Easter eggs

And began to brag

With their new products. So for the holidays

They sewed a shirt with a placket

A shirt. And that one a quilt,

And a ribbon for that one.

And for each of them a cap,

A pair of boots,

Someone a scroll. Only one

Sits without a new one

An orphan, with her hands

Hiding in her sleeves.

\- My mother bought it for me.

\- My father made it for me.

\- And my godmother made it for me

Embroidered the platband.

\- And I ate at the priest's house.

The orphan said.
