Thumbelina

 Thumbelina and

her sister Thumbeloo

both came down

with a horrid flue.

They had to spend

the day in bed -

tea was drunk,

stories were read.

The very next day

Thumbelina tried

to get up from bed

and go outside.

Thumbeloo worried:

“Sister, be wise,

don’t go out alone,

remember your size!”

A cricket for us

is as big as a bear,

when you’re a thumb,

it’s a jungle out there!”
