00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,360
Good morning! Today we have English and we're gonna read a story. Ready? So everybody quiet,

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:16,720
open your ears, open your eyes and see your map. Let's read this story. The Mix-Up Chameleon

3
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:29,400
written by Eric Coe. See what happens. On a shiny green leaf sat a small green charm chameleon. It

4
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:38,280
moved onto a brown tree and turned brownish. Then it rested on a red flower and turned reddish.

5
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:47,240
When the chameleon moved slowly across the yellow sand it turned yellowish. You could hardly see it.

6
00:00:47,240 --> 00:01:00,680
When the chameleon was warm and had something to eat it turned sparkling green like this. But

7
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:12,160
when it was cold and hungry it turned grey and dull. When the chameleon was hungry it sat still

8
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:24,360
and waited. Only its eyes moved up, down and sideways until it spotted a fly. Then the chameleon's

9
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:34,320
long and sticky tongue showed out and caught the fly. Look at his tongue. Wow! That was its life.

10
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:48,600
It was not very exciting but one day the chameleon saw a zoo. It had never seen so many beautiful

11
00:01:48,600 --> 00:02:05,560
animals. Look. The chameleon thought, how small I am, how slow, how weak. I wish I could be big and

12
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:17,000
white like a polar bear. And the chameleon's wish came true. But was it happy? Nope.

13
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:30,120
I wish I could be handsome like a flamingo. Lick and hiccup the flamingo's leg and wings.

14
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:47,400
I wish I could be smart like a fox and he got the fox tail. I wish I could swim like a fish.

15
00:02:47,400 --> 00:03:06,120
I wish I could run like a deer. I wish I could see things far away like a giraffe.

16
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:23,160
I wish I could hide in a shell like a turtle. I wish I could be strong like an elephant.

17
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,520
I wish I could be funny like a seal.

18
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:49,000
I wish I could be like people. Just then a fly flew by. The chameleon was very very hungry.

19
00:03:51,000 --> 00:04:00,920
But he was very mixed up. Look. He's a mess. He's mixed up. It was a little of this and a little of

20
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:10,360
that. And it couldn't catch a fly. He can't eat. He's mixed up. What it's gonna do? He's very very

21
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:24,680
hungry. So I wish I could be myself again. The chameleon's wish came true again. And it caught

22
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:32,600
the fly with his long and sticky tongue. The end. So did you like this story?

23
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:42,440
So the chameleon wanted to be different. But to be happy he has to be himself. Like us. We have

24
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:50,600
to be ourselves. We don't want to be different. Okay. Now I propose you to make your own picture

25
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,960
of your favorite animals. Okay. And I'll see you next time. Bye.
