When they said the time to hide was mine, / I hid back under a thick grape vine.
And while I was still for the time to pass, / A little gray thing came out of the grass.
He hopped his way through the melon bed / And sat down close by a cabbage head.
He sat down close where I could see, / And his big still eyes looked hard at me,
His big eyes bursting out of the rim, / And I looked back very hard at him.
