**Apples<\/em>
\nWay up high in the apple tree,
\n(Stretch arms in the air.)
\nTwo little apples smiled at me.
\n(Hold up two fists.)
\nI shook the tree as hard as I could.
\n(Shake fists in the air.)
\nDown came the apples.

\nMmm, were they good!
\n(Pat tummy.)<\/p>\n

***Five Little Sausages<\/em>
\nFive little sausages frying in a pan
\n(Wiggle all five fingers)
