SEVEN BLIND MICE

Seven Blind Mice (CarmenG)

One day, seven blind mice found a Rare Thing next to your Lagoon.
What is this? Surprised screamed and ran home.
On MONDAY, RED Mouse went to investigate.
It was the first out.
Is a column, he said. Nobody believed him.
TUESDAY, GREEN Mouse went to investigate.
It was the second out.
Is a snake, he said.

On Wednesday, YELLOW Mouse, went to investigate.
It was the third to leave.
It is a spear, he said.
THURSDAY, PURPLE Mouse, went to investigate.
It was the fourth to leave
It is a rock, he said.
FRIDAY, ORANGE Mouse, went to investigate.
He was the fifth to leave.
It is a fan, he said. I felt moved.
SATURDAY, BLUE Mouse, went to investigate.
He was the sixth to leave.
It's just a string.
But others disagreed.
They began to argue:
- It's a snake!
- It's a string!
- It's a fan!
- It's a rock!.

Until Sunday, the WHITE Mouse came out to investigate.
It was the seventh to leave.
He went to the lagoon.
When he found a Rare Thing,
climb up one side and down the other.
He climbed to the top
and toured the Rare Thing from beginning to the end ..
Ah .... I know.
The Rare Thing is:
Strong as a COLUMN.
Flexible as a SNAKE
It has tip as a SPEAR
Great as a ROCK
Fresh as a FAN
Strong as a STRING
But all along ... the Rare Thing is ...
AN ELEPHANT
And when the other mice climbed on one side
And they went on the other
And walked the Rare Thing
From top to bottom
And from the beginning to the end
They agreed it was an elephant.
Now they also saw him.
Moral mousetrap:
If you only know one part
Always tell nonsense;
But if you can work with others
Speak with wisdom.
