The child wanted to be a fish,
he put his feet in the river;
...was so cold the river that
he would no longer be a fish.
The child wanted to be a bird,
he come out on the balcony of the air;
...was so high the air that
he would no longer be a bird.
The child wanted to be a dog,
he started barking at a cat;
the cat tried him so bad that
he would no longer be a dog.
The child wanted to be a man,
he started to get years;
he felt so bad over the years that
he would no longer be a man.
And he no longer wanted to grow up,
the child did not want to grow up;
it was so good to be a kid,
but he had to grow up.
And one afternoon, returning
to his child place;
the man wanted to be a child,
but he could not be.
