The Story of Billy
Billy Bob begged for a big boat
because he liked to stay afloat.
He thought that he could be a fish.
A dream it was, only a wish.
Billy never learnt to swim.
The fear of drowning frightened him.
He did not even touch the pool.
Once, little Billy brought a tool
to sit and watch the river flow.
He watched the children come and go.
Even the turtles, which were slow,
made Billy jealous with their show.
"That's it," he said. "I'm going in."
He was the bravest he'd ever been.
His brother taught him all the tricks.
Now Billy swims. He's very quick.
