Tina's Tree
(adding 3 + 3)

One, two three,
One, two, three,
Aunt Tina's tree,
How many fruits,
On Aunt Tina's tree?
Tina's tree sprouted,
Lovely red fruits,
3 lovely red fruits,
That hung above roots...

1 fruit,
Then 2 fruits,
Then 3 fruits I see,
Aunt Tina's growing,
A wonderful tree!
The next day,
I looked at her wonderful tree,
6 lovely fruits,
Is what I did see!

How many new fruits,
Were on Tina's tree?

I ate the new fruits,
I think there were 3...
