The Short and the Tall
-
NB: Sometimes what appears as odd and different, may be more natural and fitting than we may ever guess.
The Short and the Tall!
Over a hill, past some trees
There lived a Short and a Tall who were very good friends
The Tall and the Short were very different
If you didn’t know they were friends you would have never guessed it!
The Short couldn’t reach things way up high
The Tall couldn’t fit into spaces so low
The Short couldn’t jump over very large holes
The Tall couldn’t sit in chairs that were low!
The Short couldn’t see very far into the distance
The Tall had trouble finding things that would fit well!
But despite all of these things
That made friendship so difficult
They liked the same toys
The same foods
And colours!They even both liked having pet Elepharrots!
That’s an Elephant that is dressed up as a parrot!!So remember next time when a friendship seems different
There might be more the same that you could ever imagine.
