The Mixed-Up Chameleon
On a shiny green leaf sat a small green chameleon.
It moved onto a brown tree and turned brownish.
Then it rested on a red flower and turned reddish.
When the chameleon moved slowly across the yellow sand, it turned yellowish.
When it was cold and hungry, it turned grey and dull.
It sat still and waited.
Only its eyes moved—up, down, sideways— until it spotted a fly.
Then the chameleon’s long and sticky tongue shot out and caught the fly.
When it was warm and had something to eat, it turned sparkling green.
That was its life.
It was not very exciting.
But one day...
... the chameleon saw a zoo!
It had never seen so many beautiful animals.
The chameleon thought:
How small I am, how slow, how weak!
I wish I could be big and white like a polar bear.
And the chameleons wish came true.
But was it happy? No!
I wish I could be handsome like a flamingo.
