Kounelaki

While we were in holiday in Greece, we learned a rabbity nursery rhyme. Appropriate, given your rabbity pre-birth identity.

It sounds very odd when you translate it into English:

Ah, little rabbit, little rabbit, wood that you will eat (an idiom meaning you're in trouble!)
In the neighbour's
Vegetable patch
Holes, why do you dig holes

Don't scrunch your nose
Don't bend your ears
Don't wink your eye
You're a picture

It sounds much better in Greek...
