If I were a Giant

If I were a giant，I wouldn't be able to fit in my house.

I'd have to live in a building that had a high ceiling，but I'd probably have a hard time getting through the door.

I'd have to make my own clothes，but where would I get a giant needle and thread to sew with？

I couldn't ride in a car or a plane.

I suppose I would just have to take giant steps from place to place.

When I talked，people would cover their ears.

My voice would sound very loud to them.

I wouldn't find any shoes to cover my feet.

I wouldn't find a knife and fork to eat my dinner with.

I might have to use a rake as a fork.

My dinner would be huge.

What would I cook my dinner in？

I certainly wouldn't find an oven big enough to put my dinner in.

If I sneezed，it would be like a hurricane

If I fell down，it would be like an earthquake..

I wouldn't have any friends because everyone would be too tiny for me to talk to.

I think that being a giant would be very lonely.

I couldn't have just one apple.

I would have to have a lot of apples to fill me up.

I could have to drink gallons and gallons of water to quench my thirst.

I could never relax under a tree，I would be taller than all the trees.

I won't ever make a wish to be giant.

I would rather be my height.

I'm very happy the way I am.
