Story of the water drop:
Once upon a time, a cloud is up in the air.
Today is a happy day. I want to rain.
Rain, rain, drop, drop, drop

Rain, rain, drop, drop, drop,
Come down, come down.

Story Peter Rabbit
Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were-- Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir-tree. 
"Now, my dears," said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, "you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor. Now run along, and don't get into mischief. I am going out." 
Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, who were good little bunnies, went down the lane to gather blackberries; But Peter, who was very naughty, ran straight away to Mr. McGregor's garden, and squeezed under the gate! 
 First he ate some lettuces and some French beans; and then he ate some radishes. But round the end of a cucumber frame… Mr. McGregor! 
 Mr. McGregor jumped up and ran after Peter.
Peter was frightened; he rushed all over the garden. He lost his two shoes.
Mr. McGregor caught sight of him at the corner, but Peter slipped underneath the gate, and was safe at last in the wood outside the garden.

Song:
Round and round the Earth is turning
Turning always onto morning.
And from morning round to night.
