27. 一枝粉筆 A Piece of Chalk (bilibgual children's poem)

6. 一枝粉筆  

老師來矣,伊上歡喜

伊會使佇黑板談天說地     

天文、地理、科學、藝術  

假若無一項伊袂曉的

 

伊干單上煩惱一項代誌 

就是予老師大力擲出去

了後伊遵照老師指示的方向

摔落佇咧講話的學生仔身軀頂

予怹雄雄驚一趒

 

伊希望智識的種籽佇心內發芽

予逐家有一日真正發芽開花

若學生有才調吸收所有的道理

就算伊一分一分消瘦落肉

閣一絲一絲予人磨到無身屍

猶甘願滿足伊有身軀通好奉獻

 

A Piece of Chalk

Chalk is happiest when the teachers come to him

Because he can chat about all sorts of subjects

Such as astronomy, geography, science and art

Chalk knows whatever you want to know

 Chalk doesn’t like to do just one thing

When he is called on by the teacher

And he needs to follow the teacher’s orders

So Chalk hits the students chatting in class

To give them a big shock and stop their talking

 

Chalk hopes the seed of wisdom grows in students’ minds

And they can improve their studying a lot

If students want to learn about everything from Chalk

Even though every moment he becomes thinner and smaller

At the cost of his life

He still enjoys his work
