I
am
a
giraffe.
I
have
a
long
spoted
neck
as
big
as
a
trunk
I
make
no
sound.
I
am
as
soft
as
a
blaket.
I
eat
leaves
plants.
I
drink
water.
I
galup
like
the
wind.
My
head
is
small
but
my
neck
is
long.
***
I’m
a
shark.
I
have
smooth
skin.
I
have
dark
black
eyes.
I
scrape
my
sharp
teeth
on
hard
rocks.
My
gills
go
swish,
swish
when
air
goes
through.
I
love
the
taste
of
fish.
I’m
as
fast
as
lightning.
My
fins
shake.
I
look
like
sideways
socks.
***
I
am
a
hamster.
I
am
black
and
small.
I
am
silent
and
furry.
I
am
soft
and
I
eat
oats.
I
have
little
paws
that
are
already
sharp
I
have
biting
noises
when
I
eat.
I
am
a
furball.
I
sleep
all
day
and
I
crawl
a
lot.
My
eyes
are
dark
and
black.
I
am
like
a
beard
on
my
Dad’s
chin.
I
have
long
white
whiskers
that
are
very
pointy
and
sharp
as
knifes.
I
am
a
snake
that
sworms 1
***
If
I
was
a
animal
I
would
scratch
my
fluffy
ears.
I
would
crunch
on
some
greens.
I
will
be
as
shy
as
kitten.
I
climb
the
trees
like
a
squirl.
I
would
smell
like
pine.
I
look
like
a
sleeping
fuzz
ball.
My
sharp
claws
will
grip
on
a
tree.
***
I
am
a
scary
lion
that
hunts
when
its
night.
I
make
a
terriffing
sound
raaaaarh!
I
sneek
up
on
my
prey
from
the
damp
ground.
Then
I
pounce
and
eat.
Sometimes
I
wait
till
my
prey
passes
by.
The
rabbit
is
my
favorite
meal.
But
the
rabbit
is
aware
and
sly.
***
I
am
a
black
and
white
Gorilla.
I
have
a
flat
nose
and
long
arms
and
short
legs.
I
have
a
bad
smell.
I
am
furry
as
a
carpet.
I
eat
bananas.
Oh,
ah
ah,ah
ah!
I
skip
on
a
vine
to
one
tree
to
another.
I
bang
my
chest.
I
have
small
brown
hands
fat
strong
bamboo.
I
am
as
big
as
a
car.
***
I’m

I’m

I’m

I

a
beagle
I
bark
at
neighbors
and
go
bambusluly
(lazily)
back
to
my
owner.
I

stomace.
I’m

I
am

But
when
my
owner
comes
to
me
he
rubs
