IF I were only a little puppy, not your baby, mother dear, would you say "No" to me if I tried to eat from your dish ?
Woul you drive me off, saying to me, " Get away, you naughty little puppy" ?
Then go, mother, go ! I will never come to you when you call me, and never let you feed me any more.
If I were only a little green parrot, and not your baby, mother dear, would you keep me chained lest I should fly away ?
would you shake your finger at me and say, " What an ungrateful wretch of a bird ! It is gnawing at its chain day and night ? "
Then, go, mother, go! I will run away into the roods; I will never let you take me in your arms again.
