It's almost time for Science Night. | But what about Shel, who's good at art? |
I need a partner.Who should I ask? | He paints and draws and sculpts so well. |
I have three friends who all want to help. | Our project would look great no doubt! |
How can I choose just one for the task? | I'm sure I should be asking Shel. |
| |
My best friend Jule is fun to be around. | How can I choose just one from three? |
But she's as chatty as a bird. | I need them all! I'm feeling sick. |
When she start to talk-just watch out! | I'm as dizzy as a spinning top. |
I can't get in a single word. | When trying to choose.I just can't pick! |
| |
Still, that might work for Science Night; | But wait-why not ask them all to help? |
She'd show our project to the crowd. | A group of four is better than one. |
Jule's voice would boom out like a drum. | I'd love to work with all my friends. |
I wouldn't mind if she were extra loud! | In such a group, we'd have such fun! |
| The work could be shared by four of us |
And then there's Dan, who's really shy | By me and Shel and Dan and Jule. |
But wise as an owl-he's so smart! | We'd fit together like puzzle pieces |
He'd help with the thinking for the job. | And take the grand prize in the school! |
He wouldn't talk, but he'd do his part. | |
