I Joe

I have place of me.

One place of me on cold, on wet, I covered. I warm. I nice. Nice noise. I pull ropes. I bite friends.

LOVE BITE!

I bite. Next. They loud.

They loud?

I EXCITE YES PLEASE I JOIN!

Other place of me. Roof very high. Changes much time.

Air full. Stories. Songs. Grass songs. Smoke songs. Water songs. Tree songs. So many songs.

Place of me soft ground.

Place of me. Place of sticks. Place of rope. Place of shiny bee.

(shiny bee no move. shiny bee buzz. shiny bee bite. No bite shiny bee)

Place of me sticks tall. Sticks stand trees. Rope stretch between. Shiny bee between.
