Luyện nghe bài hát 14 Carrot Love

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

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 like 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, a carrot in his mouth, hops by behind her, and then stops to look on)

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

(she Benny)

Uh-oh. (tries to sneak away)

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

(Benny stops, skyward, his escape foiled)

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

Benny: (spitting out the carrot) Hey! Don't call me Bunny! The is Benny!

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

Benny: (shocked) No! No way, no chance! No how! This is my carrot, and I 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...

Benny: Yeah yeah...

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

14, yeah.

Polly And I can sing my song.

Benny: No, no way, it!

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

Benny: (Squeaks his teeth as he thinks 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?

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

Benny: yeah yeah...

Darton: ...wonderful little bunny, you!

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

(music starts, she now sings)

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

(unimpressed) Yeah...

Polly Darton: The bunch has 13
But it takes a shove

(Benny starts getting the beat)

To add another
And get 14 love!

14 love!

(Benny squeaking his teeth in time to the music)

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

(Benny's really into it)

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

14 carrot love!
14 love!
That's we got here -
14 love!

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

Benny: 14 carrot love! 14 love!

Darton: (calling to him) Hey hey! Benny! Song's over, Benny!

Benny: (still singing) 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 carrot here, and get outta here ...

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

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

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

Benny: (shouting) call me Bunny! The name is Benny!

(squeaks his teeth as last notes of the replay)
