Wake up neha's alarm clock

Wake up! Wake up! It’s a lovely day. Oh! Please get up And come and play. The birds are singing in the trees, And you can hear the buzzing bees. Wake up! Wake up! It’s a lovely day. Oh! Please get up And come and play. It’s much too late to lie in bed, So hurry up, you sleepy head. Wash and dress And come on out – Everyone is up and about. The cow, the horses, the ducks and the sheep, The tiniest chicken Cheep-cheep-cheep Wake up!. Written by- C. Fletcher

Betty bought a bit of butter, But the bit of butter that Betty bought was bitter. So Betty bought some better butter. To make the bitter butter better.

Narrator: Ring! Ring! Ring! Off goes the alarm clock at six in the morning. Neha makes a face and covering her ears with a pillow, snuggles under the warm blanket. But she knows she has to get up. She mutters to herself. Neha: This alarm clock always rings at six and pulls me out of the bed! It’s so unfair...Oh, how I would love to sleep a little longer in the morning! I wish this clock would forget its job sometimes.

Narrator: Something falls. Neha smiles. Neha: Oh! My clock has fallen. How happy I am! Tomorrow I can get up late. Narrator: Next morning there is no alarm. So Neha sleeps and sleeps. The small chirpy birds which come to the window sill every morning find Neha still sleeping. Birds: Wake up dear! Wake up fast! Narrator: Neha gets up with a start. Neha: Oh, no! If it’s not the alarm clock, it’s these birds… why don’t they leave me alone?

Narrator: Even this wish of Neha’s comes true. The next morning there is no alarm clock, there are no birds either. But there is someone else who does not want her to miss the school bus. Can you guess who it is? The big bright Sun! He fills Neha’s room with a warm smile.

Neha: Oh, my eyes! Now it’s the Sun waking me up! Why can’t he let me be? Narrator: Even this wish of Neha’s comes true. The next morning the Sun is behind the clouds. So, Neha snores till she hears her mother’s voice...

Mother: Wake up sleepy head. You will miss the bus. Neha: Oh no! Why does the mother have to wake me up? Narrator: There is no escape now. Neha gets up and gets ready. Can you imagine what happens the next day? Neha wakes up with a start. Her watch says it is called out to her mother.

Narrator: Mother smiles.Mother: Who else? You, of course! Neha: But, I was sleeping, how could I …?Mother: Now, tell me, why do you eat your lunch every day at one in the afternoon? Neha: I feel hungry Mother: Why do you sleep at nine every night? Neha: Because I feel sleepy Mother: There is a clock inside you which tells you when to eat, when to sleep, and when to wake up. Neha: Oh! Ooh! I better rush now. I don’t want to miss the bus. Mother: RELAX! Today is Sunday! Neha: Oh! Oh! Oh!
