'your ears are so big', the little girl said

the little girl said, 'your ears are so big'

oréjon said, 'my ears aren't that big'

'they're so big they cover the whole side

of your head', the little girl said

oréjon cried

the little girl girl sad said,

'i hope nobody drinks that cup of thread',

the little girl said

the little girl said, 'what legs will i wear -

i can't wear these legs', the little girl said

oréjon said, 'my ears and your legs'
