《The Boy and the Filberts》歌词

[00:00:00] The Boy And The Filberts - Shannon Wright (香农·莱特)

[00:00:00] The Boy and the Filberts

[00:00:03] A boy

[00:00:03] Was given permission to put his hand

[00:00:05] Into a pitcher to get some filberts

[00:00:08] But he took such a great fistful

[00:00:10] That he could not draw his hand out again

[00:00:13] There he stood

[00:00:15] Unwilling to give up a single filbert

[00:00:17] And yet unable to get them all out at once

[00:00:21] Vexed and disappointed he began to cry

[00:00:25] My boy

[00:00:26] Said his mother

[00:00:27] Be satisfied with half the nuts you have taken

[00:00:30] And you will easily get your hand out

[00:00:33] Then perhaps you may have some more filberts some other time

[00:00:39] Do not attempt too much at once
