🐞 Sample Text:
"Down in the garden, 'neath a tall, green tree...
a crawly little ladybug was as crawly as can be.
She crawled under dragonfly,
and crawled over a snail.
She crawled beside a worm
who had a wiggle in his tail (SWISH!)
She crawled right past a grasshopper
and crawled below a bee.
She crawled beneath a butterfly
that fluttered high and free!"
(You get the idea!)
