Says the beetle whirligig,

in the river running dry:

Here I am, so small and weak:

I would like to notify

my mother and father dear:

if tomorrow all is well,

I will still sleep soundly here.

But if things are turning worse,'

in the end, become a curse,

I'll be forced to leave this place;

Have to quit for lack of space!
