1. There's one with a prize, one with bait
one in the trees, one with a hook
You'll find it at the market in a basket
And everyone calls it...

2. We are many and we are brothers, we are rather quarrelsome
because in summer we get dressed and in winter we undress.

3. Tall and big, I'm planted in the ground; small and tiny, I go for a walk. I'm dry when you're wet, I'm wet when you're
dry.

4. When you look at me I look at you,
I smile when you're happy, I cry when you cry.
If you step a little further away
I vanish and disappear.

5. I'm in the river but I'm not a fish, I'm in the garden
but I'm not a flower;
I'm round
very fine or oval,
with me and a slingshot you like to play.
