    The Mixed-Up Chameleon

    by Eric Carle
    On a shiny green leaf sat a small green chameleon. It
    moved onto a brown tree and turned brownish. Then it
    rested on a red flower and turned reddish. When the
    chameleon moved slowly across the yellow sand, it
    turned yellowish. You could hardly see it.
    When the chameleon had something to
    eat, it turned a sparkling green.
    But when it was cold and hungry, it
    turned grey and dull.
    When the chameleon was hungry, it sat still and waited.
    Only its eyes moved-up, down, sideways-until it spotted a
    fly. Then the chameleon’s long and sticky tongue shot out
    and caught the fly. That was its life. It was not very
    exciting. But one day…
    … the chameleon saw a zoo!
    It had never seen so many beautiful
    animals.
    The chameleon thought:
    How small I am, how slow, how weak!
    I wish I could be big and white like a polar bear.
    And the chameleon’s wish came true.
    But was it happy?
    No!
    I wish I could be handsome like a
    flamingo.
    I wish I could be smart like a fox.
    I wish I could swim like a fish.
    I wish I could run like a deer.
    I wish I could see things far away
    like a giraffe.
    I wish I could hide in a shell like a
    turtle.
    I wish I could be strong like an
    elephant.
    I wish I could be funny like a seal.
    I wish I could be like people.
    Just then a fly flew by.
    The chameleon was very hungry.
    But the chameleon was very mixed-up.
    It was a little of this and a it was a little of that.
    And it couldn’t catch a fly.
    I wish I could be myself.
    The chameleon’s wish came true.
    And it caught the fly!
