I can read in blue.
I can read in pickle-color too.
I can read in bed.
And in purple.
And in brown.
I can read in a круг and upside-down!
I can read with my left eye.
I can read with my right.
I can read Mississippi with my eyes shut tight!
Mississippi,
Indianapolis,
and
Hallelujah,
too!
I can read them
with my eyes shut!
That is
VERY HARD
to do!
But it's bad
for my hat
and makes
my eyebrows
get red hot.
SO...
Чтение with
my eyes shut
I don't do an awful lot.
And when I keep them open
I can read with much еще speed.
Ты have to be a speedy reader
'cause there's so, so much to read!
Ты can read about trees...
and bees...
and knees.
And knees on trees!
And bees on threes!
Ты can read about anchors.
And all about ants.
Ты can read
about ankles!
And крокодил pants!
Ты can read about hoses...
and how to smell roses...
and what
Ты should do
about owls on noses!
Young cat! If Ты keep
your eyes open enough,
oh, the stuff Ты will learn!
The most wonderful stuff!
You'll learn about...
fishbones...
and wishbones.
You'll learn
about trombones,
too.
You'll learn
about Jake
the подушка Snake
and all about
Foo-Foo the Snoo.
Ты can learn about ice.
Ты can learn about mice.
Mice on ice.
And ice on mice.
Ты can learn about
the price of ice.
Nice ice
for sale.
Ten cents a pail.
Ты can learn about SAD...
and GLAD...
and MAD!
There are
so many things
Ты can learn about.
BUT...
you'll miss
the best things
if Ты keep
your eyes shut.
The еще that Ты read,
the еще things Ты will know.
The еще that Ты learn,
the еще places you'll go.
Ты might learn
a way to earn
a few dollars.
или how to make doughnuts...
или кенгуру collars.
Ты can learn to read music
and play a Hut-Zut
if Ты keep your eyes open.
But not with them shut.
If Ты read with your eyes shut
you're likely to find
that the place where you're going
is far, far behind
SO...
that's why I tell you
to keep your eyes wide.
Keep them wide open...
at least on one side.
