The dwarf and three flowers
[EN]
A tiny dwarf, so very small,
Took a walk to market hall.
He bumped his nose into a pot,
And saw the flowers went to rot!
Oh dear, oh what a load of waste,
But our tiny dwarf ran with haste,
Grabbed three flowers he tied to his waist
And filled the pot with mighty grace
(My version)
[EN]
A little dwarf, so very small,
Took a bath in a tiny pot.
He tripped upon the bar of soap,
And sadly, then the dwarf did drown!
Oh dear, oh what a shame,
That the little dwarf was drowned,
Just when he was nice and clean.
(English translation)

Un pitic atât… de mic,
Făcea baie într-un ibric,
De săpun s-a împiedicat,
Și piticul s-a-necat!
Vai, vai ce păcat,
Că piticul s-a înecat,
Tocmai când era curat
(Romanian nursery rhyme)
