A Poem A DayThe Tiger said to the Star,
What is it like up in the clouds?
It is like you are floating, said the Star.
I like floating, dreams the Tiger.
So do I. I love floating.
Oh, Star, can you show me how to fly?
No, no, my Tiger, I can’t show you how to fly.
But why, said the Tiger to the Star.
Because, silly Tiger, you are not a Star,
And you never will be.
By Keyla, 3rd grade

There is something freeing in knowing that there are some things one cannot be. This has a wonderful fairy tale feeling!
