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 was warm and had something to eat , it turned sparkling green.But when it was cold and hungry , it turned gray 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 it was a little of that.
And it couldn't catch the fly.
I wish I could be myself.
The chameleon's wish came true.
And it caught the fly !
