Luyện nghe bài hát 14 Carrot Love

Polly Darton by a country fence, over 13 carrots, laid out in a row)

Polly Darton: Oh, hi there. My name is Polly Darton, and I'd like to sing a song for you, but I can't. The song I'd to sing's called, "14 Carrot Love", but as you can see, I only have (slowly counting carrots) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 carrots. Mm-hmm.

(Benny Rabbit, with a carrot in his mouth, hops by behind her, and stops to look on)

How can I sing a song about 14 love, when I only have 13 carrots?

(she Benny)

Uh-oh. (tries to sneak away)

Polly Darton: Look! Did you see bunny with that carrot?

(Benny stops, skyward, his escape foiled)

I wonder if he'd let me borrow it. (calls) bunny, bunny, bunny!

Benny: (spitting out the carrot) Hey! call me Bunny! The name is Benny!

Polly Darton: Well, I'm sorry, Benny. I was wondering if I could borrow that there.

(shocked) No! No way, no chance! No how! This is my carrot, and I gotta get downtown, so goodbye! (picks up carrot in his mouth again)

Polly Darton: Oh please? You have one carrot and I have 13 carrots. (Benny puts carrot back down) If I add your carrot and my 13, I'll have (slowly carrots) 1, 2...

Benny: yeah yeah...

Polly ...3, 4...

Come on, I gotta get downtown!

Polly ...5, 6, 7, 8...

Yeah yeah yeah...

Polly ...9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 carrots.

14, yeah.

Polly Darton: And I can my song.

No, no way, forget it!

Polly Darton: Aw, Don't do it for me - do it for the little children! Please?

Benny: (Squeaks his teeth as he about it) Oh, all right all right all right. You can borrow my carrot. But you have to give it back. And you can't, I say you can't nibble on it, okay?

Polly Darton: Okay, okay. Thank you! you, you -

Benny: Yeah yeah...

Polly ...wonderful little bunny, you!

Benny: (appalled) call me Bunny! The name is BENNY!!!

(music starts, she now sings)

Polly These carrots from the garden
Are as you see
In one big bunch
As as can be

(unimpressed) Yeah...

Polly The bunch has 13 carrots
But it takes a shove

(Benny starts getting the beat)

To add carrot
And get 14 love!

14 love!

(Benny starts squeaking his teeth in to the music)

14 love!
That is what we got -
14 love!
It's better than flowers
Or on a ring

(Benny's really into it)

And it's all of you-ou
I have this to sing

14 carrot love!
14 love!
what we got here -
14 love!

(music ends, but keeps singing, leaning back on the fence)

Benny: 14 love! 14 carrot love!

Polly Darton: (calling to him) Hey hey! Benny! over, Benny!

Benny: (still singing) That's what we've got here! 14 ca- (stops) Oh yeah yeah yeah, right right, well I gotta go anyway. Yeah yeah, I'm just gonna take my here, and get outta here ...

Polly Darton: Hey, hey you can have all those carrots, Benny. Just my way of thank you.

Benny: (blown away) Oh! Oh gee, well, um ... but I don't what to say!

Polly Darton: Aw, you know he is a sweet little bunny!

Benny: (shouting) Don't call me Bunny! The is Benny!

(squeaks his teeth as last of the song replay)
