| the time is | B |
| There is no fun in my play so I have come to you It is | B |
| Saturday our holiday | C |
| Leave off your work mother sit here by the window and tell | D |
| me where the desert of Tepantar in the fairy tale is | B |
| The shadow of the rains has covered the day from end to end | E |
| The fierce lightning is scratching the sky with its nails | F |
| When the clouds rumble and it thunders I love to be afraid | G |
| in my heart and cling to you | H |
| When the heavy rain patters for hours on the bamboo leaves | I |
| and our windows shake and rattle at the gusts of wind I like to | H |
| sit alone in the room mother with you and hear you talk about | J |
| the desert of Tepantar in the fairy tale | K |
| Where is it mother on the shore of what sea at the foot of | L |
| what hills in the kingdom of what king | M |
| There are no hedges there to mark the fields no footpath | N |
| across it by which the villagers reach their village in the | O |
| evening or the woman who gathers dry sticks in the forest can | P |
| bring her load to the market With patches of yellow grass in the | O |
| sand and only one tree where the pair of wise old birds have their | Q |
| nest lies the desert of Tepantar | Q |

| across that unknown water | Q |
| When the haze of the rain comes down in the distant sky and | U |
| lightning starts up like a sudden fit of pain does he remember his | B |
| unhappy mother abandoned by the king sweeping the cow stall and | U |
| wiping her eyes while he rides through the desert of Tepantar in | S |
| the fairy tale | K |
| See mother it is almost dark before the day is over and | U |
| thee are no travellers yonder on the village road | V |
| The shepherd boy has gone home early from the pasture and men | W |
| have left their fields to sit on mats under the eaves of their | Q |
| huts watching the scowling clouds | X |
| Mother I have left all my books on the shelf do not ask me | Y |
| to do my lessons now | Z |
| When I grow up and am bid like my father I shall learn all | A2 |
| that must be learnt | B2 |
| But just for today tell me mother where the desert of | L |
| Tepantar in the fairy tale is | B |
