On a shiny green leaf sat a small green chameleon. It moved onto a brown tree and turned brownish. Then it rested on a red flower and turned reddish. When the chameleon moved slowly across the yellow sand, it turned yellowish. You could hardly see it.

When the chameleon was hungry, it sat still and waited. Only its eyes moved-up, down, sideways-until it spotted a fly. Then the chameleon’s long and sticky tongue shot out and caught the fly. That was its life. It was not very exciting. But one day…
