Recruitment Event Q & A
What’s the purpose of a recruitment event?
 To inspire new members, parents, volunteers,
caregivers, and girls to get involved with
Girl Scouting.
What is the Opportunity Catalog?
 Found at gswise.org, it is a place where users can
simply enter their zip code and find a list of:
What is considered a recruitment event?
 Tabling at a school open house or community
fair—this may generate interest about Girl Scouts,
and allows the recruiter to connect briefly with
potential members, gathering information from
them.
 GSWISE recruitment events held at a specific
school or site. Adults and girls are invited to
attend the event, specifically to learn about
Girl Scouts. At that time (or even beforehand)
potential members can fill out the Welcome to
Girl Scouts page in Volunteer Systems at
gswise.org. The event may be a simple one hour
information session, or could be a themed event
using some of the recruitment kits available for
check out at any GSWISE Resource Center.
o
New troops welcoming new
members
o
Returning troops welcoming new
members
o
Volunteer openings
 Prospective members should be able to see an
assigned troop in their area at a recruitment event.
What recruitment resources are available?
(These can be checked out through your local
Resource Center)
 Recruitment flyers from GSWISE. Colorful and
pre-printed or available online, the flyers include a
blank section for you to customize.
 Table top recruitment boards.
 Yard signs.
How do I participate?
 In order to make sure every girl who wants to be
a Girl Scout can participate, we need recruiters!
School/Site Organizers play a crucial role as they
lead recruitment efforts throughout GSWISE
during the membership year. GSWISE Recruitment
Managers will provide training and support prior to
your recruitment event.
 The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting (any level), Journey
books, and uniforms for display.
 Email templates for school e-newsletters.
 School/Site Organizer Packets with registration
instructions, Interest Indicators, take home cards,
and Recruitment Sign-In Sheets.
 Recruitment Resource booklet with script.
How many people does it take to staff/assist at
a recruitment event?
 Tabling event—1 to 2 people needed
 GSWISE recruitment event—2 adults and a helpful
troop of Girl Scout Juniors or older. One adult
meets with the potential volunteers, and the other
oversees the older girls as they provide an hour of
fun activities.
How long should the recruitment event last?
 If tabling event is being held in conjunction with a
school event, you would want to be at the event
the entire time families are free to roam.
 If this is a GSWISE recruitment event—no longer
than one hour, with a set start and finish time. The
families you are trying to connect with are just as
busy as you are!

Communicating your message
Everyone likes to buy things right? But no one likes to be
sold to! So don’t oversell the Girl Scout experience—even
though you know how wonderful it is. Let those new girls
and volunteers lead the way in their decision to become
a Girl Scout, and let them know that the experience
may or may not be the perfect fit for their family. People
do business with people they trust—so establish some
expectations as you build your rapport and relationship
with these potential members.
1. Establish a timeline with your audience. Let
them know what your expectations are for the
recruitment event, and ask them what their
expectations are.
2. Control the flow of the meeting—when everyone
is confident their agenda will be dealt with, you
become a better listener and can focus on the
potential member’s issues.
4 | gswise.org
3. Make sure there is an outcome—that should be
the decision to proceed with or stop the process
of becoming a new member. If a new member is
unsure, set up a definite time to follow up (i.e.: The
day after tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.) explain that you
know their time is valuable and you don’t want to
waste it. Any time you are meeting with someone—
in person or over the phone—follow this strategy.
4. Ask questions and LISTEN to their responses.
As a prospective member’s caregiver details the
reasons they are interested in Girl Scouts, they are
buying—without you doing any of the selling! All
you need to do is let them know how important
their reasons are and how Girl Scouts will benefit
their girl.
Recruitment Presentation Script
(Greet potential members as they arrive and ask them to
fill out the 2-part Recruitment Sign-in Sheet.)
Good Evening!
My name is
. Thank you for
inviting me here to talk with you about Girl Scouts! In the
next half hour or less, I hope to give you the information
you need to decide if Girl Scouting is a good fit for your girl
while she enjoys some fun activities run by older
Girl Scouts.
We know that Girl Scouting is not for everyone. If at
the end of our meeting you don’t feel like the Girl Scout
program will work for your family, please just let me know.
Otherwise I will need 5-10 minutes more of your time after
I complete my presentation. Is there anything else anyone
wants to make sure we cover this evening? (Leave them
time to answer—may want to summarize any other points
that were covered.)
Alright, let’s get started.
For over 100 years the Girl Scout mission has been to build
girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make
the world a better place. Through Girl Scouting girls learn
skills, explore the world around them, and participate in
community service activities—all at a level that matches
their age and skills.
Before I speak more on this I would like to ask you what
brought you here today to explore Girl Scouts for your
girl? (Allow audience to speak, try not to fill silence gaps,
pick a couple of the following questions to encourage
conversation if conversation stalls.)
 Are there certain benefits or opportunities that you
hope your girl will acquire?
 Are there any issues in your school or with your girl
that you hope Girl Scouts will help with?
 For those of you who have been involved with
Girl Scouts before, do you think this has helped
you in your life?
 Sometimes I hear parents say in this busy world
their daughter has trouble connecting with friends
outside of school—is that a concern at all?
 One of the studies I saw recently showed
all parents—no matter their culture or
circumstances—want their daughters to feel
comfortable taking risks, in order to be successful.
Do any of you feel that way?
 I hear complaints all the time from parents
who say their girls are too wired in to electronic
devices—is that the case with any of your girls?
All of these things are important and Girl Scouts will
benefit your girls in many ways that will help them right
through adulthood by:
(Highlight outcomes that you feel strongly about
that reflect the concerns or wishes the adults just
mentioned) such as:
 Building self-esteem and leadership qualities
 Developing positive values
 Developing healthy relationships
 Seeking challenges
 Learning how to problem solve in their community
gswise.org | 5
Recruitment Presentation Script (continued)
I’m sure you’re wondering if there are any costs involved.
What do you think a leadership experience like this is
worth? (pause for responses)
 The girl and adult membership fee is $15. There
is financial aid available for the membership fee,
uniforms, books, and all of our programs including
our camps.
 Some troops may also charge dues. However, the
council offers two product sales that should cover
most of the troop’s costs. Can anyone guess what
those are? (The fall nut sale and Girl Scout cookie
sale.)
 And let’s not forget a really important cost: Your
time. For your girl to reap all of the rewards of
Girl Scouting, you should be willing to invest some
of your time into the program.
Today we will work together to form troops for your girls.
Most troops meet a couple of times a month for an hour
or hour and a half and are led by a team of 2–4 co-leaders.
Volunteers are also needed to help organize the fall nut
sale and cookie sale. In addition, drivers, chaperones, and
others can register as Helping Hands.
Troop volunteers are supported by key volunteers in your
area and council staff.
We understand that not everyone wants to be a leader—
can you guess why some people step up to be part of the
leadership team?
(If no answer, encourage current leaders that may
be present to answer or share some of the benefits
below)
 You have fun with your girl. You get to try new
things and carve out a little time for the two of you.
 You make a difference in the life of a group of girls.
Think about those in your past who did the same
for you.
 The leadership team picks when, where and how
often the troop meets.
I want to give you the opportunity to volunteer now so
we can get the troops started. I don’t suppose anyone
is interested in becoming a co-leader right now? (Allow
for audience to answer, wait out the silence if necessary.
Respond accordingly i.e. “Wow! that’s awesome!” or “No
worries. I know it’s not easy being put on the spot.”)
6 | gswise.org
The most successful troops have lots of adult help. This
allows adults to share the responsibilities of helping girls
plan meetings, run activities, and provide transportation
or other assistance. Don’t forget that you can draw from
family adults and beyond—male or female. Please talk
together at your tables and discuss what roles you think
you could fill.
Next steps
Are you ready to take the next step? Some of you may
be. Some may be uncertain. Others may know that the
program is not for them and that’s fine. Here’s what will
happen next. If you’re ready to sign up, we’re going to have
you look at the Registration Instruction Sheets on your
tables and begin the registration process and discuss
ways you may like to volunteer. If you have questions or
are not interested, please talk to me or another helper.
And here’s one final reminder: it’s not too late for others to
get involved! Take a Take Home Card with you and pass it
on to friends and the parents of your girl’s classmates.
Thank you for coming.
(Help adults who want to register get online and register.)
If they’re ready show them the Opportunity Catalog and
have them choose a volunteer role.
Let them know that once they have gone through
the background check and are approved they will be
contacted by a Volunteer Support Specialist.
If no one comes forward for troop leadership go ahead
and register and we will all work together to develop a
leadership team for your Girl Scout troop.
(Set follow-up times with adults who are hesitant to set a
definite meeting day or time. Tell them that you will follow
up with them—within the next 48 hours.)
If feasible you may want to have a laptop set up with the
YouTube video highlighting the Girl Scout Volunteer Tool Kit.
Gauge your audience—would the short tutorial overwhelm
or comfort them? Once you have volunteers recruited
as co-leaders you could suggest they watch the tutorial
outside of the recruitment event.
After the Recruitment
 Collect the Recruitment Sign-In Sheet. Keep
one copy for your records and send the other
copy to the Recruitment Manager. These can be
scanned and emailed, faxed, or dropped off at a
Girl Scout Resource Center to the attention of the
Recruitment Manager. Please return them within
24 hours of your event. This information will start
a series of email messages that will help with the
membership process.
 Return materials that were checked-out to the
Girl Scout Resource Center.
 Approved co-leaders will receive a password to log
into their Member Community (MY GS on
gswise.org) which will give them access to their
troop roster and alert them each time a new
member registers to their troop.
 Collect Interest Indicators and use these to help
identify potential volunteers.

Girl Scout Daisy Flower Garden, “Which Flower are You?” Activity Directions
Materials provided:
Presentation:
• Multiple flower characters on cardstock with a hole
punched at the top; these will be used to make a
flower character necklace for each girl
• As the girls are coloring, talk to them about the
Girl Scout Law and the value their flower character
represents. Ask what “values” mean to them.
• Daisy Flower Garden poster
• Talk about the unique qualities of each of the flowers.
• Set of laminated flower garden characters, to learn
that each flower represents a piece of the Girl Scout
Law
• Talk about how the flowers are also the same and
how they work together (e.g., each flower represents
a different part of the Girl Scout Law, but together
they embody the whole Girl Scout Law).
• Pre-cut yarn/string
Flower directions:
• Let them know that each flower may look different,
but all of them need the sun and water to live. In
the same way, each of us is unique, but we all have
characteristics and interests in common, and all our
different strengths together make a powerful team!
• Use the flower garden poster and laminated flower
characters to introduce the flower characters and
explain the Girl Scout Law value that each character
represents.
• After all the characters are introduced, have the girls
choose a flower picture; encourage the girls to pick
different flower characters (explain that they will be
using their flower characters in the next activity, and
it works best if the group has many different flower
characters).
• Girls color their flower.
• String the colored flower character card onto the
pre-cut yarn to make a necklace.

A Friendly Message for Future Daisies
(an interactive story)
Materials Provided:
• A copy of A Friendly Message for Future Daisies story
and directions
• Girl Scout Daisy Journey map & Daisy Flower posters
• Laminated flower characters (“puppets”)
Now let’s start our Flower Garden story. During the
story I will be telling you more about each of the flower
characters. When you hear the name of the flower you
chose, and see her picture held up, you will stand up, listen,
and then do the action I describe. For example, when Lupe
is called, all the girls that chose Lupe will stand, listen, and
then will do a fun action. Lupe’s action is taking off her
sunglasses.
• Daisy character headband
Directions:
• The narrator wears the daisy headband as she plays
the role of Daisy. The narrator reads the story, “A
Friendly Message for Future Daisies”, slowly.
• When each girl’s part of the law is stated, they should
stand (to highlight their chosen flower) and do the
action noted with the story. It will be important for
the activity leaders to model the actions with large
exaggerated movements and read the story with
expression. If none of the girls have chosen that
particular flower all the girls will stand and do the
action together.
Greet the girls:
Greetings from the Daisy Flower Garden! My name
is (pause and ask)…Can you guess? That’s right – my
name is Daisy! I was named for the real person who
started Girl Scouting over 100 years ago! Juliette
Gordon Low was her name, but her friends called
her Daisy. As a Daisy, I stand for all parts of the
Girl Scout Law. Before we get to see all the flowers
you’ve chosen from the Daisy Flower Garden, I’d like
to teach you a very important part of Girl Scouting,
the Girl Scout Promise. You can make the special
Girl Scout sign with your right hand (help the girls
figure out which is their right hand), and repeat the
Promise after me:
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
12 | gswise.org
It’s also important to know that if no one has chosen the
flower I call out then ALL of you will stand, listen, and then
do the action I describe.
Let’s practice and try the first part together…
Lupe “all the girls that chose Lupe stand up…now Listen”
Lupe, the lupine
Blue, honest, and fair
Spending summers in Maine without a care.
Your action is taking off your sunglasses. Show us your
action!
*NOTE: It will be important for the activity leaders to model
the actions with large exaggerated movements, and read
the story slowly, but with expression. If needed, repeat the
instructions or call out all the character names and have
the girls practice standing and sitting.
Ready? Let’s go!

The Adventures of Princess Daisy
An interactive story
Supplies:
A copy of The Adventures of Princess
Daisy story, directions.
Method:
From 4 - 150 players and one narrator.
Each player, or group of players, is
verbally given a word that is repeated
over and over in the story. The story
is read aloud. Each time the “word” is
read, the player (or group) with that
word stands up, turns around, and sits
back down.
Narrator must be sure to read slowly,
emphasizing the “word,” giving the
girls time to stand up, turn around,
and sit back down. At the mention of
the word, PRINCESS DAISY (not just
princess or Daisy), every girl stands
up, turns around, and sits back down.
[If there is room, the girls could trade
places instead.]
Directions: (can be read to girls):
We are going to read a story about
Princess Daisy. I am going to give each
of you a special word that will be in the
story. When I read that word you need
to stand up, turn around, and sit back
down. When I read the word, PRINCESS
DAISY, everyone will stand up turn
around and sit back down. It has to
be PRINCESS DAISY not just Daisy
or Princess Let’s try it. Once upon
a time there was a little girl named
PRINCESS DAISY. (If everyone got it
you can continue to give out words; if
not, you might want to try it again.)
Okay, now let’s give you your special
word – (Give out specials words.
Depending on the number of girls each
girl can get a different word or you
can give a pair/group of girls the same
word. You want everyone to have a
special word.)
Now that everyone has their special
word, let’s practice. When I say your
special word stand up turn around and
sit back down. (Say each of the special
words, being sure that each girl knows
her word. End by saying PRINCESS
DAISY.)
Special Words:
KING
QUEEN
RING
SPARKLE / SPARKLES / SPARKLED
ELF/ELVES
FAIRY/FAIRIES
OGRE/OGRES
Once upon a time, there was a princess named Daisy. Daisy was not a very nice
princess. When her friend Princess Tulip came over Daisy wouldn’t share her
toys. When Princess Rose moved in next door, Daisy saw that she had green
hair and would not go meet her because she might be different. When the cook
made a new dish for supper, Daisy was afraid to try it. Now the KING and QUEEN
had been very patient with their daughter, trying to teach her to be nice and try
new things and meet new people but PRINCESS DAISY just wouldn’t.
One day the KING and QUEEN called their daughter to the throne room. They
gave her a beautiful RING and said “Daisy, it is time you learn to be a true
princess. We are going to send you on a magical journey. Each time you learn a
lesson about being a princess your RING will SPARKLE. When it SPARKLES three
times, you will be returned home. We will keep you very safe on this journey, but
you must learn your lessons.” Having said that, PRINCESS DAISY was whisked
away to a magical forest.
Daisy looked around – she didn’t know where she was or how to get home, but
she saw she still had her beautiful RING and remembered that her parents, the
KING and QUEEN, said she had to learn to be a true princess. So she started
down the path, not sure which way she was going. After walking a while she
heard music playing. It sounded like a party up ahead, but who had a party in
a forest? PRINCESS DAISY rounded a bend in the path and saw all sorts of
magical creatures having a feast. There were ELVES and OGRES and FAIRIES.
Daisy peered out from behind a tree. What should she do? They all looked so
different and she didn’t know anyone. She remembered that when Princess Tulip
moved into her neighborhood, her father the KING had told her to introduce
herself and go meet her. She supposed she could try that. So the princess
stepped out from behind the tree and went up to the nearest creature.
“Hello, my name is PRINCESS DAISY,” she said and held out her hand.
“Hello,” said the ELF shaking her hand. “I am Ellie ELF, are you new here?”
“Yes” said Daisy, “my parents the KING and QUEEN have sent me on a magical
journey.”
“Well, you must have a lot of courage to introduce yourself to someone new. I
wish I could be a princess like you.” Ellie said.
Daisy thought about that – she did have courage like a true princess. Just then
her RING SPARKLED.
“Have one of my special fish crackers,” said a gruff voice behind her. She turned
to see a large OGRE standing there with a bowl of crackers.
“PRINCESS DAISY, this is OGRE Grogg,” said Ellie ELF.
“Nice to meet you,” said Daisy shaking his hand, “I am PRINCESS DAISY.”
gswise.org | 17
The Adventures of Princess Daisy
She looked at the crackers; they looked funny – kind of orange and shaped like fish, but with her newfound courage, Daisy
tried the crackers and found that they were very good. Daisy was so hungry from her journey and the crackers were so very
good that Grogg said she could take some more. Daisy put a handful in her pocket.
“Do you sing?” asked OGRE Grogg.
“Yes,” said the princess, “why?”
“Well then you must sing for us.” and OGRE Grogg grabbed the princess’s hand and pulled her into the center of the party.
Now everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her. “Everyone,” said Grogg, “this is PRINCESS DAISY and she is
going to sing for us.”
Daisy looked around the circle. Everyone was watching her. She knew she could sing but to do it in front of all these
strangers? She closed her eyes and thought for a minute. What was that her mother the QUEEN was always telling her? Oh
yes, Just believe in yourself and do your best. I can do this thought the princess and she opened her mouth and sang a song
that her mother had taught her. When she finished everyone clapped. They loved her song. She felt so good about doing it.
“Wow”, said Ellie ELF, walking up to her, “are all princesses as confident as you?”
“You just need to believe in yourself.” Daisy said and with that her RING SPARKLED for a second time.
Just then Daisy saw a small FAIRY crying. Daisy walked over to her and said, “Hi, I am PRINCESS DAISY. Why are you
crying?”
“I got to the party late,” sobbed Fairah FAIRY, “and now all of OGRE Grogg’s crackers are gone and they are sooo good.”
Daisy nodded, “Yes, they are really good.” Then she remembered the crackers she had put in her pocket. But they were so
yummy and she was still so hungry. Fairah FAIRY looked very sad.
So PRINCESS DAISY reached into her pocket and took out her crackers. “Here, why don’t you have mine,” said the princess.
“Really?” said the FAIRY smiling.
“Yes,” said Daisy, “you can have them.”
“Wow, are all princesses as nice as you?” asked Ellie ELF.
“I am learning to be.” said Daisy. She looked at Fairah FAIRY and thought about how good it felt to share.
“Well, you have true character.” said Ellie and with that, PRINCESS DAISY’s RING SPARKLED for the third time.
When she blinked, she was back in the throne room with her parents.
“Oh, mom and dad, “I have learned so much.” she said.
“What have you learned?” asked her parents.
“I should have the courage to try new things, the confidence to always do my best, and the character to do what is right.”
“Daisy, we are so proud of you. You are now a true princess” the KING and QUEEN replied. “And to help you always
remember that, all you have to do is look at your SPARKLY RING.”
Now PRINCESS DAISY always remembers to play nicely with Princess Tulip and Princess Rose, try all of cook’s dishes - no
matter what they look like, and, best of all, invite her new friends Ellie ELF, Fairah FAIRY, and OGRE Grogg to play.
The End!

Games
Find the Leader
Operator
What Time is it Mrs. Wolf?
Supplies:
Supplies:
This game is similar to “Red Light,
Green Light.”
 Enough space to form a circle
To Play:
 Players sit in a circle.
 One player is chosen to be ‘IT’.
 This person turns their back
and covers their eyes while an
adult chooses someone in the
circle to be the “leader”.
 The leader starts a motion,
such as clapping hands, and
all follow by doing the same
motion.
 ‘IT’ uncovers her eyes and tries
to guess who the “leader” is.
 The “leader” changes the
motion often.
 The other players must be
sneaky and watch the “leader”
out of the corner of their eyes
to discover what the next
motion will be.
 ‘IT’ has three guesses to tell
who they think the “leader” is.
 The “leader” becomes ‘IT’ and
a new “leader” is chosen.
Other motions can include:
• tapping knees
• shaking head
• shrugging shoulders
• snapping fingers
• touching nose
30 | gswise.org
 Enough space to form a line or
circle
 A few funny sentences
no longer than ten words
long (Write them down for
reference!)
To Play:
 Have girls sit in a line or circle.
 Tell the girls that you are going
to whisper a sentence to the
girl next to you and that she
has to whisper the exact same
sentence to the girl next to her
and so on until they reach the
end of the line.
 Once the last girl has heard
the sentence she has to say it
out loud and see if it matches
what the first girl said.
The final sentence is usually really
funny and is never the sentence
that originally began the game since
the girls usually have a hard time
whispering to their neighbor because
everyone is giggling.
Consider using sentences that relate
to Girl Scouts such as “Juliette’s
birthday is on October 31” or “I have a
great big Brownie smile.”
Supplies:
 Large space
 Tape, rope or some way to
mark a starting and ending
point
To Play
 Line girls up behind the
starting line.
 Choose one girl to be “Mrs.
Wolf”, have her stand behind
the end line with her back
turned to the other girls.
 On the leader’s signal, the
other girls chant, loudly and in
unison, “What time is it, ‘Mrs.
Wolf?’”
 “Mrs. Wolf” answers with
different times, for example,
“It’s one o’clock!”
 The other girls take a step for
every hour that “Mrs. Wolf”
says it is, counting in unison.
(So, for one o’clock, they take
one step toward “Mrs. Wolf’s”
back. For seven o’clock, they
take seven steps.) It is up to
each girl whether they take
large or small steps.
 Eventually, “Mrs. Wolf” will
announce, “It’s lunch time!!”
and turn around and chase
the girls who have been
approaching her from behind
until all girls are either tagged
or safely behind the starting
line.
 The girls who were tagged are
now wolves and are able to
turn other girls into wolves.
 “Mrs. Wolf” and the new
wolves line up along the
ending line with their backs to
the other girls and the game
starts again.
 The game ends when all girls
are turned into wolves.
Songs
The Wind Blows West
Supplies:
 Square or rectangular room or
playing field
 A place holder for each player, such as a chair or piece of
paper
Before You Play:
 Have the girls make a large
circle and mark their place
with a piece of paper or chair.
Remove one piece of paper or
chair.
 Choose one girl to stand in the
middle of the circle; she will be
“IT”.
 Ask the girls to look around the
circle and think of something
that they might have in common with the other girls such
as the color of their shoes, the
length of their hair or the number of siblings.
To Play:
 On the leader’s signal, “IT”
starts the game by saying:
“The wind blows west for everyone who ______________
(list something in common).”
(Ex: has brown hair, has an older brother, is wearing red, etc.).
 Everyone, including “IT”, who
fits this category has to run
across the circle to a newly
vacant square Girls must run
to a spot across from them,
no running to your neighbor’s
spot.
 The person left without a spot
goes in the middle and the
game starts again.
Looking for song or game ideas?
Ask the Girl Scouts in attendance to
teach a few, or search for song or
game suggestions on YouTube.

Gray Squirrel
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel
Swish your bushy tail
Wrinkle up your nose,
Put a nut between your toes
Across the windswept desert
Where nature knows no man
A buffalo spied his brother
a laying in the sand
Said the buffalo to his brother
“What makes you lie that way?”
But the buffalo did not answer
He’d been dead since way last May
Since way last May

Hawaiian Punch
Tune: Brady Bunch theme song
Here’s a story, of a big banana
Who was bringing up three nanners of
her own
All of them had skin of gold, like their
mother
The youngest one in green
Here’s a story, of a big red apple
Who was bringing up three apples of his
own
They were two fruits living all together
Yet they were all alone
‘Til the one day when the banana met
this apple
And they knew that it was much more
than a hunch
That these fruits must somehow form a
fruit drink
That’s the way they all became Hawaiian

That’s the way they became Hawaiian

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti, all covered with
cheese
I lost my poor meatball, when
somebody sneezed
It rolled off the table, and on to the floor
And then my poor meatball, rolled out of
the door
It rolled in the garden, and under a bush
And then my poor meatball, was nothing
but mush
The mush was as tasty, as tasty could
be
And early next summer, it grew to a tree
And the tree was all covered with
beautiful moss
It grew lovely meatballs, with tomato
sauce
