There is a tall mulberry tree in the middle of our yard.

1. In the middle of our yard stands a tall mulberry tree, ; A stork has built a nest on it. ; Don't build a nest on it, stork, ; Rather build it on the bank of the stream, on the branch of a juniper tree. ; ; 2. Red-billed stork, you didn't take my word, did you, ; You built a nest there, where there never was one. ; You built it on the branch of a juniper tree, ; The whole village didn't even mention me.
