Brave Snow-Day Mittens Song 042
Song promise: Brandon and Austin share one ordinary watering can by checking it, carrying it together, pouring a little, and setting it back carefully.
The part everyone joins: “Take one turn; leave it ready.”
Lyrics
Brandon hears the willow leaves swish.
Austin sees one watering can.
Brandon asks, “Is it for sharing?”
Austin points to the turn card.
Take one turn; leave it ready.
Hold it low and pour a little.
Set it back when you are finished.
Leave one turn for someone else.
At the red barn gate, they carry
one cool can with both hands set.
Brandon holds one handle steady.
Austin guides the spout ahead.
Take one turn; leave it ready.
Hold it low and pour a little.
Set it back when you are finished.
Leave one turn for someone else.
Dappled shadows wiggle like mittens.
Willow leaves pretend to wave.
Make-believe snow dots dance in sunlight,
then the breeze sends them away.
At the garden row, Brandon steadies
one low plant beside the path.
Austin tips the can a little,
then returns it to the mat.
Take one turn; leave it ready.
Hold it low and pour a little.
Set it back when you are finished.
Leave one turn for someone else.
Resource-Care Tag
Use a little. Check what is left.
Set the shared thing where it goes.
Someone else may take a turn
when they need it, if they choose.
