(2) garden (n) : taman  (花园)
(3) tickle (v) : menggelitik (点/ 瘙痒) 
(4) forest (n) : hutan (森林)

Round and round the garden,
like a teddy bear,
One Step, two steps,
tickle you there.
So, parents & kids! May you do Teacher Teoh a favor? Can you find where are the NOUNS?
Well, there are 3 nouns here : garden, bear, step. 
Well, you got the right one??

Round and round the forest,
like a little bear.
One step, two steps,
