What is hot?

A burning sun on a boiling day,

a man jumping on the surface of Venus

and a firefly looking to burn.

What is cold?

the heart of a winter’s snowman

a frozen freezer standing still

and a drop of crystal ice on a chilly postman’s nose.

What is fast?

A cheetah chasing its prey,

a shark fighting for survival

and a flying tarantula zooming around the jungle.

What is slow?

A tortoise munching grass,

a slug squirting out slime

and a slow worm wriggling at 1 mph.

What is long?

An elephant’s trunk swishing from side to side,

a deer’s antlers pointing to the sky

and Mount Everest’s icy point poking through the clouds like an ice cream.

What is short?

A tortoise’s mouth slowly gulping,

a baby fish hatching from an egg

and a tiny crocodile snapping its jaws.
