1. The Citrus Family
I am an orange, I am a lemon
Same family, different names
When little, the fruit is green
Grows up, the fruit turns ripe
Some fruits are a bit red
Some fruits are yellow
Each fruit has its taste
Sweet and juicy
Sour and tangy
Hey everyone
Citrus fruits are nutritious
When eating, remember to wash
Thoroughly clean and dry
Peel the skin off
Rich, aromatic fragrance
Delicious and refreshing
Helps me grow quickly.

2. Sweet Cluster of Fruits
Amidst the charm of the spring cluster,
From afar, it radiates warmth; up close, it satiates hunger.
Each fruit perfectly round and smooth,
Branches suddenly fragrant, spreading throughout the garden.
In those days, grandfather planted and nurtured,
Now, I pluck the fragrant fruits to offer to grandmother.

3. Eating Fruits
Children indulge in a variety of fruits,
For a healthy life they embark,
Bananas make them strong,
Adding firmness all along.
Cherries are the choice,
Leaving skin rosy and poised.
Devouring peaches with delight,
Clean teeth and tongues, oh so bright.
Feasting on the pomelo,
Abundant in vitamin C, a health halo.
Pears, a crisp and cool sensation,
More charming with each consumption.
Children, consume an array of fruits,
Into wellness, they recruit,
Healthy, rosy, and wise,
Diligent and academically rise.

4. Fruit Market
Green leaves, green fruits,
Quietly perched on branches.
Green leaves, golden fruits,
Birds chirping, swaying in stances.
The market bustling with activity,
Children carrying bags, lively.
With market goods in hand,
They sleep more soundly.
Grandma narrates: “This market, in the days of Tam,
She hid here, a secret clam.
Waiting for the day to meet the King…”

5. The Fruit
Round like a ball,
Its skin is green,
That is the pomelo.
Pleasant to smell,
The fragrant fruit is the thị.
Segments white like rice,
Soursop, sour and sweet.
To eat, you must peel,
The spiky custard apple.
Fruit also has ears,
The red dragon fruit.
With spikes outside the peel,
It is the durian.
During the inclined evenings,
Admiring the fruit orchard.
I love them all,
My fruit garden.

6. The Watermelon
Born on the hot sand,
Feeding on the fresh sunlight.
The larger, the heavier,
Splitting open like a sunbeam.
Refreshing to eat,
Oh, how kids love watermelon!

7. Banana
Young green banana,
Peeled and dainty segments.
Banana opens its eyes,
Segments blossom wide.
Into the mouth it goes,
Racing each other to ripeness.
Lips smacking,
Sucking on banana flesh.
Seeds popping out,
Shiny black.
In April it appears,
Ripe by July, cheerful.
Cuckoo birds chirp,
All season long, bananas.
Now near, soon far,
Kids welcome gifts,
Bananas in the basket.
Little hands,
Clean the bananas,
Stroke grandma's face,
Still fragrant...

8. Fruit Canopy
Silently listen,
I recite a verse,
About fruits, my friend!
Eating into coolness,
Is the Dragon Fruit,
Green skin, red inside.
Is the Watermelon,
Shape quite ungainly.
Is the Durian,
Yellow shell, green rim.
Refreshing Green Banana,
Rough skin, black seeds.
Is the Soursop,
Curved like a fishing hook.
Old Banana, Royal Banana.

9. The Papaya
Stem adorned with leafy traces,
Spreading like a canopy.
Embracing around mother's neck,
Round fruits nestled closely.
Even in prolonged rain,
Even in cold, white mist,
The fruit ripens golden,
Beautiful and fresh as sunlight kissed.
Aged trunk, white with mold,
Raising children evenly bold.
Fruits ripen, away from mother,
Still carrying the essence of her.

10. Pineapple
Wearing a regal crown,
Clad in armor.
Gazing at hills and mountains,
With a hundred eyes.
Roots sieving through stones and sand,
Blossoming Sunflowers.
Soil nurturing sweet nectar,
Forever lingering on lips.
The North calls it Pineapple,
The South declares it Fragrant.
A tree with a name,
Harboring a thousand kisses...
