I Can Climb!

Mini Shrinivasan

I am a big boy now.

I can climb up the steps.

But I cannot climb down again.

I can climb on a chair.

But I cannot climb down again.

I climb on to the chair, and then on the table!

But I cannot climb down again.

“Papa! Papa!” I shout.
Papa laughs. “Sonu, learn to climb down!” he says.

I am afraid. But I do not cry.

Slowly, I get down from the table, and down from the chair.

At last, I have learnt to climb down too!
