What is that animal outside your window? Could it be a mammoth with great huge feet? Rather like an elephant— but what size! What a hairy coat! Look at those magnificent tusks! I wonder where she is going? What if she tramples your garden? You spent a long time planting crocuses and daffodils. |
What? A mouse? Not a mammoth at all? My mistake! Your garden’s safe, then! Not a single crocus will be harmed By a misplaced foot. It must have been the sun in my eyes— reflection can play such strange tricks. I wonder how the mammoth felt when she found that she had become so small? |
