Little Tree, Big Help | Kids’ Song About Why Trees Matter

Kenapa bangku di bawah terik terasa panas? Anjing Ola mencari teduh di alun-alun. Tajuk pohon tua menahan sebagian sinar. Di tanah sejuk, keduanya rehat. Burung bernyanyi, serangga datang ke bunga. Hujan singkat mengalir di sela akar. Akar menahan tanah; air mudah meresap. Pohon kecil, besar manfaatnya. Tumbuh perlahan, tahun demi tahun. Orang berteduh, satwa punya rumah. Berguna bagi seluruh lingkungan. Bagaimana daun membantu pohon tumbuh? Daun itu memakai cahaya dan air. Juga menyerap gas dari udara. Namanya karbon dioksida. Saat itu, daun melepas oksigen. Pohon kecil, besar manfaatnya. Tumbuh perlahan, tahun demi tahun. Orang berteduh, satwa punya rumah. Berguna bagi seluruh lingkungan. Ola dan orang dewasa memilih tempat tepat. Akar direntangkan, lalu ditutup tanah. Bibit disiram, dilindungi tiap musim. Pohon kecil, besar manfaatnya. Tumbuh perlahan, tahun demi tahun. Orang berteduh, satwa punya rumah. Berguna bagi seluruh lingkungan. Kelak keluarga piknik dalam naungannya. Bunga jadi pakan, dahan tempat sarang. Bibit itu tumbuh dan membantu sekitar.

Why is that sunny bench too hot to touch? Ola’s dog seeks shade across the square. The old tree’s crown blocks some of the sunlight. Cool earth below lets both of them rest. A bird sings; an insect visits flowers. A quick shower runs down among the roots. They hold the soil and help the rain soak in. Little tree, such a big help. Growing slowly, year by year. It gives us shade and animals a home. It helps the whole neighborhood. How do green leaves help a tree to grow? They use sunlight and water for its growth. They also take a gas from the air. Its name is carbon dioxide. As they do, the leaves release oxygen. Little tree, such a big help. Growing slowly, year by year. It gives us shade and animals a home. It helps the whole neighborhood. Ola and a grown-up choose the right place. They spread the roots and cover them with soil. They water and guard it through each season. Little tree, such a big help. Growing slowly, year by year. It gives us shade and animals a home. It helps the whole neighborhood. Years later, her family picnics in its shade. Flowers feed insects; branches shelter nests. That little sapling now helps the neighborhood.
