An old leather shoe was thrown away.
No longer needed at the start of the day.
It was thrown into a ditch at the side of the road
and who came to live in it? but a big fat Toad.
"I like this shoe, it can be my new house
But wait no, this shoe isn't big enough for a mouse!"
Off hopped the Toad away from the shoe
and in climbed a mouse, a very small Shrew.
"This house is small and just the right size for me
But wait it has no windows, I cannot see!"
So away ran the Shrew and in slid a Snail
"I could not live here, there is no box for my mail!"
And off went the Snail and in fell an egg
It had fallen from the nest of a Robin named Peg.
Into the shoe the little Robin flew
"I like this shoe, yes I really really do!"
So Peg lived in the shoe and a small chick she hatched
and they never left for they became quite attatched.
