Fred's Garden

Fred is a mouse, inside a garden.
Where there stood one bush, inside Fred's garden.
"a-DEEN" flower bush, inside his garden.
You say "a-DEEN" for "one", when you're speaking it in Russian.
a-DEEN bush in the garden of Fred.

Fred brought a bush, inside the garden.
Now there are two bushes, inside Fred's garden.
"dvah" flower bushes, inside his garden.
You say "dvah" for "two", when you're speaking it in Russian.
dvah bushes in the garden of Fred.

One day there appeared, inside the garden.
A baby flower bush, inside Fred's garden.
So there are "tree" flower bushes, inside his garden.
You say "tree" for "three", when you're speaking it in Russian.
tree bushes in the garden of Fred.

1, 2, 3 bushes, inside the garden.
Let us count the bushes, inside Fred's garden.
a-DEEN, dvah, tree bushes, inside his garden.
Excellent! My friend, you can count to 3 in Russian!
Do-svidaniya! From the Garden of Fred!
