Living
Pulling the Saw (II)
Translated by Isaac Taylor Headland (1900) · From Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes (1900)
Living
We pull the big saw,
And we push it out straight,
There's a Punch and a Judy
At grandmother's gate,
Our sisters and brothers
Invite to the show,
And all of us, even
The baby, shall go.
