All of the children
The kittens and puppies,
loved coming to see
as cute as can be.
But not Blue, who has bumpy skin and no fur.
Nobody wanted a lizard like her.
“It’s ‘cause lizards are creepy!”
The tabby cat said.
“Nobody wants them. They get puppies instead.”
“and hamsters”
“and kittens”
“and birds who are red.”
No one likes lizards. They get cute animals instead!
“You guys are just mean,” the lizard replied. “I don’t know why they would want you. You make people cry.”
So Blue left the pet store to go off on her own. And on the pavement, the midday sun shone.
Oh it’s so very hot! I shouldn’t have left.
The blue lizard thought, but along she crept.
“Look mom!” a little boy smiled, “It’s a chameleon, my favorite reptile.”
The boy loved lizards, he knew all about them. So he took Blue home at 4:00 pm.
All of the children loved coming to see The kittens and puppies, as cute as can be.
To say all of them cared about their pets is true, but none as much as the boy loved Blue. 15
