Once upon a time, on a big green plain,
There lived creatures, small and large, all the same,
Ants, all busy, marching in a line,
With an ax, so sharp and ready, all in a shine.

There was an iguana, who loved to climb,
Trees and rocks, so fast and so nimble, all the time,
And an alligator, who lived by the lake,
With a big grin and strong jaws, just ready to take.

In the north, there was an igloo so bright,
Made of ice and snow, shining under the light,
It was home to the Eskimos, strong and tough,
Living in peace, and playing with huskies, enough.

So, let's all gather around the table,
And learn from each other, just like fables,
For creatures big or small, all have a heart,
And together we'll make a world, just a perfect part.
