Who is big?

Sara Saunders

Karen Lilje and Wiehan de Jager

Ant looked at the little plants and pebbles around him. "I am big!" he said.

"No, Ant. You are not big," said Squirrel. "I am big!"

"No, Squirrel. You are not big," said Cat. "I am big!"

"No, Cat. You are not big," said Hyena, "I am big!"

"No, Hyena. You are not big," said Rhinoceros, "I am big!"

"No, Rhinoceros. You are not big," said Elephant, "I am big!"

Then Elephant looked up at the sky. The sky was full of stars. The sky was big and wide. It stretched forever in every direction. "No, I am not big, either! All of us are small!" smiled Elephant.
