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.

You could hardly see it.

When the chameleon was warm and had something to eat ,it turned sparkling green.

But when it was cold and hungry , it turned grey and dull.

When the chameleon was hungry , 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 thefly.

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 chameleon's wish came true.

But was it happy？

No !

I wish I could be handsome like a flamingo.

I wish I could be smart like a fox.

I wish I could swim like a fish.

I wish I could run like a deer.

I wish I could see things far away like a giraffe.

I wish I could hide in a shell like a turtle.

I wish I could be strong like an elephant.

I wish I could be funny like a seal.

I wish I could be like people.

Just then a fly flew by.

The chameleon was very hungry.

But the chameleon was very mixed-up.

It was a little of this and it was a little of that.

And it couldn't catch the fly.

I wish I could be myself.

The chameleon's wish came true.

And it caught the fly !
