Transcription:
You¡¯re still reading? That¡¯s unexpected.
You are smart. I can tell, and you're curious, too.
How do birds learn to sing?
Why is one and one two?
If you're hunting for answers, you won't find them
here.
There's no hint that a fawn is a sweet baby deer.
If you want to remember that two and two's four,
Or that otters use rocks to crack clams near the
shore,
If you're learning that two and a three make a five.
And that wasps build a nest while the bees have a
hive.
If you're wanting to learn things, this book's not for
you.
There's no clue on which camels have one hump or two.
Is it true that two sevens really add to 14?
Or that goldfish see colors that you've never seen?
Is a whale not a fish?
Is a bat not a bird?
You can read all you wish, but you won't learn a word.
This small book won't help much with your facts or
your sums.
You might as well sit and just twiddle your thumbs.
You could fold up these pages to make paper planes...
Or use them as shelter from light summer rains.
If you place this small book beneath a wobbly old
chair,
Then at last it's of use, so just leave it right
there.
If you want something useless with nothing to say, then
read it again-that's an order. Okay?
The end.
