Hullo! I’m very quick!

Try to press down on my tail.

**Uh-oh!**

Please don’t touch any of my leaves. I am busy looking at the clouds.

**Oh no!**

I’m not always this little. See what happens when you yell **CABBAGE!**

**Pffft!**

I’m scared of nothing! Not even lions. **ROAAAARRRR** as loudly as you can.

**Tshing!**

An odd thing happens when I hear songs. So do not sing **OODLEY OODLEY OOOO** to me.

**Shoop!**

Oi you, show me your scariest face. **Go on!**

**AAAA!**

I should remain calm. But I don’t remember why. So no sudden movements, okay?

**Uh-oh!**
