Elephant In My Eye
“What's wrong?”
“I think I have an elephant in my eye.”
“You think you have an elephant in your eye?”
“Yes! I think I have an elephant in my eye!”
“Here, let me see.”
“Be careful.”
“Okay! Just move your hands and let me look.”
“Be careful!”
“I see it.”
“Can you get it?”
“Just stay still while I try.”
“Be careful.”
“I am.”
“Don’t hurt me.”
“Stop whining.”
“Do you have it?”
“Not yet, stay still.”
“Hurry.”
“There you go.”
“What?”
“I got it.”
“You got it?”
Yes, I got it!”
“What was it?”
“Just a tear.”
“Whew, it felt like an elephant.”
