I have never seen the perilous past,

But I have read multiple history books.

I have never lived on the Greek island of Corfu,

But I have been on holiday there.

I have never battled a bashful brown bear,

But I have done free sparring with my karate teacher.

I have never befriended a tiger with menacing teeth,

But I have befriended a partridge chick with fluffy feathers.

I have never climbed Mount Everest,

But I have ran across How Hill, with its emerald green grass.

I have never walked across Europe,

But I have trekked along Weavers Way.
