Where the sun helped it grow, and so did the rain-

Nibbled on flowers for hours and hours!

last verse team:
The fox, he grew older and died one spring day,
But he made the soil rich when he rotted away.
A new daisy grew where he died on the plain.
The sun helped it grow, and so did the rain-
Links in a food chain.
