The Corn Harvest

The corn harvest is hard working
The mother and father and little girl are tired
They work hard on piling the corn
Their hands stay sticky working all day

The little girl is hard working not having fun
The corn harvest has the little girl so busy
She doesn’t play just working all day
She helps her mother cook

The mother and little girl
Holds the corn like a baby
The corn harvest makes them care
They need the corn to live

The corn is the food
If they didn’t have it
What will they eat
The corn harvest is good to do
