What is cold? A dog’s wet nose on a

summer day, an ice cream melting fast,

the blood of a crocodile and the air in a shivering winter.

What is hot?

A mammal’s blood. A warm radiator, your

blankets keeping you warm in bed, a fresh, steamy pizza out of the oven, with stuffed crust and cheese oozing on to the plate.

What is a wet? A 3 year old’s bed

after they have a nightmare, The ground

after heavy rain and a snail’s slimy trail.

What is dry? A brick wall, Left-out

glue, the air in a hot desert. The bark of

an old tree and a spilled spot of paint.
