The Little Girl from Peru

There was once a little girl from Peru,

Who fell in love with a little black shoe,

She asked her lazy father to buy it for her,

But he simply beat her black and blue,

Angry and determined she had become,

Always wondering about what to do,

She took up a job at the local bakery,

And saved herself lots of pennies few,

Now happily she trotted towards the store,

To buy herself the pretty black shoe,

When on the street she saw a little girl,

Who was no older than a year or maybe two,

She wore torn clothes that barely covered her,

And shed tears that glistened like the morning dew,

Our little girl went to this unlucky kid,

And did exactly what any good little girl would do,

She gave her all the money that she had saved,

So she could try to begin her life anew....
