FRANKLIN could count by twos and tie his shoes He helped his little sister Harriet zip zippers and button buttons He showed her how to play peekaboo and pat-a-cake He read stories and sang songs to her Franklin loved his little sister and he liked being a big brother most of the time
One day Franklin took Harriet outside to play He pushed Harriet in her swing He held her hand as she went down the slide But he didn’t see the puddle at the bottom
