Hawkins Hollow Nursery Rhymes
Water Marked Garden Marker at Moss Log Stage
The whispered tongue twister names the silent sequence after children perform it: point, peer, pause; pass, peer, pause. The water-marked flap must move before the caterpillar clue appears. The audience supplies the last tiny tap but remains off-scene.
Rhyme
Three views watched one garden place.
The wet-mark marker changed its face.
Spencer pointed. Callen peered.
Haylee paused till the view was clear.
Zylar passed the marker round.
No one spoke. No one made a sound.
Point, peer, pause—soft and slow.
Pass, peer, pause—watch it go.
One wet flap slipped to the side.
A tiny caterpillar showed where leaves could hide.
Four hands stopped. The path stayed wide.
No poke, no pat, no hand reached inside.
The audience tapped one finger beat.
That final verse stayed small and neat.
The caterpillar rested on its leaf.
Leaving it still was the friends’ relief.
