Eerie woods, a weasel plays, Sleek and swift inside a maze, Through the grass, it hops and kicks, Chasing mice with playful tricks, Moonlit night or sunny day, Whiskers twitch, there’s no delay, Silent woods, a weasel eats, Hungry tummy’s joy repeats. woods δάσος eerie απόκοσμος, μυστηριώδης sleek στιλπνός,… (συνέχεια…)

Ignored the lessons, lost in his trance, A fish with fins, and a vivid glance…. (συνέχεια…)
