If you live on the moon you’ll need clothes that will protect you from comet hails that could fall upon your head any time.

If you live in the sky, you’ll need feathers to cover your body and two wings to fly with. Aha! You’ll also need a beak. Beep! Beep! Beep!

a boy acting like a bird on a tree

If you live on top of a mountain you’ll need two long skinny legs to leap between the rocks. Oh! You’d be like the mountain goats. Hop! Hop!

If you live among the roses you won’t need a big mouth. Of course, you’ll eat but you’ll eat like a butterfly. You’ll have a long nose to suck the nectar from the roses.

If you lived in dark caves, you won’t need your eyes. It’s already dark over there. You’ll just need lots of noses like the star nosed mole. Yes! You’ll certainly look funny. Ha ha ha!

If you lived in the sea, you won’t even need your nose. You’ll only need some gills to breath under water. Ha Ha Ha.. and you won’t be able to talk in the water. Blop Blop!

If you live in the North Pole, you’ll need ten layers of clothes, or maybe the fur of a bear. You might need extra rough skin like the penguins. No No! Don’t put the penguin on. You can be friends. He’s nice.

If you live in a tropical forest. Well, you won’t even need the clothes you are wearing. You won’t need feathers either. You may only need it if you want to make a fan. You’ll also definitely need an umbrella to protect you from the heavy rain.

Take care though, if you live in my house, you’ll need to wear something to protect you from random shots and you know what...

You’ll wish you had wings… yes you would want to fly away.

You’ll also wish you had the fur of a bear or the skin of a penguin. It’s freezing here. Turn the Air conditioner off.

Then, you’ll wish you had skinny legs like those of the mountain goats.

But you’ll definitely thank God that you have your nose to smell this lovely smell.

Yes, you are definitely the luckiest of all because you have a mouth to taste the most delicious food ever; mom’s food.
