Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

It was late one fall night at a near town
When Esther saw the Armenian man
Who groveled toward her and by her side
With a bucket that swung in his

His grin stretched the of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of on the curb
And the lights the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his eyed stare

He said, "Little girl, you can off my legs
And peel off my socks if you want to
But I'd rather you took this old puppet me
That I in my pail as we speak"

And he stood looking down at the girl
And she stared at the bucket
Then he lifted the doll for the girl to see
And a giant grew on his face

She saw the doll's and she couldn't resist
And she thanked the man and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with puppet high
And a hush filled the chapel and the people looked

Esther tried in vain to the mob
Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, to brawl
The frenzied congregation desperately to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's sack

Through the of the church, a storm began to rage
And Esther knew the time had to flee
She scurried down the aisle toward the doorway in the
And out the rainstorm where she felt she would be free

But the was blowing harder
And her began to billow, until finally her feet began to lift
And she above the houses and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the were set adrift

Floating higher over the
And the valleys and they'd flutter and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
With the earth far below them they'd
And through the clouds

And she began to earthward
she landed in the nasty part of town
She about the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest of night

Nervously she for the pouch that held the puppet on her rump
Feeling quite Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited the dawn
'Cause it would been a blunder
To to a hoodlum on the prowl

the morning came, she wandered through the streets
Along the chilly lake lay beside the town
At last a peaceful moment, but she thought she heard a
It was an angry mob of coming up to knock her down

As Esther stood and shook her the joggers were approaching
And she knew she had no choice left but to
As the frosty water sank its bitter teeth her hide
She tried to slide the heavy from her skin

Naked now she made her way toward the
When she felt a tiny tugging at her toe
And the she'd forgotten wrapped its tiny
Little arms her ankle and wouldn't let her go

The waves to open and swallow her whole
As the pulled her down through the eerie green deep
And the of the laughing old man filled her ears
As she away to a tranquil and motionless sleep
