Not here, not there. Where have you gone?
1
Not on the sofa. Not under the cot.
2
Not in the box. Not under my sister’s frock.
3
Not under the pillow. Not in my bag. Sob, sob, where have you gone?
4
I have looked in every room, l have looked under every book.
5
I have looked under the chair, I have looked under the stool. Where have you gone?
6
Soon granny came back from her walk. ”Look what I found in the park.”

”It can sway, it can bounce. It can spin, it can dangle. Ha-ha, hee-hee,” said Granny with a giggle.
8
Oh Granny! Thank you so much! You have found my dear yo-yo!
9
”Yo-yo? What a funny name! What a funny toy!
I want to play with it, It gives me so much joy!”
10
Giggle, giggle, giggling away, Granny played, with my little toy. For the rest of the day!
