BENJAMIN BLUE Benjamin Blue lost his shoe. He called to his mother, “What should I do?” His mother said, “Look under your bed” But as he did, he bumped his head! His father said, “Look under your chair” But all he found was dust and hair. His brother said “Look in your room, behind your door “ But dirty socks just covered his...

I wished to improve on my character so, I looked for a model to go by. I studied the habits of men great and tall, For one who seemed perfect in my eyes.
