Na veu besca ploumen veth dhe'n wedhen vian, bes ajwonys ew hei der hy delkyow. Ello whei ajon ploumbren der y flourys? Pe pictour ew ploumbren ha pe  pictour ew spernen dhû? Pandr'ew an deffrans? Flourys bian gen pemp petal gwydn - bes òtta spern hir!   

There are verses in German written by Bertolt Brecht in 1934. The subject is a little plum tree in the yard. There's a little barrier around it, for protection from feet. The little tree never had a single plum, but it is recognised because of  its leaves. Can you recognize a plumtree by its flowers? Which picture is a plumtree and which picture is a blackthorn (sloe)? What is the difference? Little flowers with five white petals - but behold a long thorn!
