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.
