In a land so far away,
A foreigner came to stay.
She wore a kimono, tied with an obi,
And her passport said she was from Kobe.

She went to see the sights,
A pagoda tall and bright.
She ate some sushi, tempura too,
And drank some tea that was green and new.

But then she saw something that made her scream,
A snake with venom, like a bad dream.
But don't you worry, she ran away,
And lived to see another day.

So kids, if you travel afar,
Remember to bring your passport, like a star.
Try the food, see the sights,
And always be ready for a fright.

Reflections

1. How do you think the foreigner felt when she arrived in a new land?
2. What are some of the new foods the foreigner tried, and would you like to try them too?
3. Why do you think the foreigner was afraid of the snake, and how did she handle the situation?
4. Have you ever visited a new place before? What did you like about it?
5. If you were to visit a foreign land, what kind of food or sights would you want to see?
