Wheels and Feet

By David M. Smith

Feet

come in all sizes

Elephants have feet

so do kangaroos.

Even ants have feet

John has feet

Wheels

come in different sizes

Cars have wheels

so do bicycles.

Lorries have big wheels

So does Anna

John walks with his feet

Anna walks with her wheels

because her feet don’t work properly

John and Anna

play ball together

and eat ice creams together

They race each other

but Anna always wins –

her wheels are faster

John can hang upside down

and make faces at Anna

They both laugh and make jokes together.

Sometimes John helps Anna to do things

like climbing steps.

Sometimes Anna helps John to do things

like carrying the shopping.

Sometimes they work together

Anna likes to do sums.

John likes reading.

Everyone is good at something

Anna and John are friends.
