1 What will Walrus do?
Everyone at the North Pole was very excited. There was going to be a show and ANYONE could be in it. ‘I will do skating,’ said Arctic Fox. ‘I’m good at that!’ ‘I’ll do tumbling,’ said Polar Bear. ‘No one tumbles quite like me!’ ‘I’ll do singing,’ said Seal. ‘Everyone says I have a very fine voice!’ ‘Then I’ll do diving,’ said Whale. ‘I won a prize for diving at school, you know!’ They all looked at Walrus. ‘What will YOU do?’ they asked. But Walrus was not good at anything. He wasn’t good at skating, and he wasn’t good at tumbling. He was terrible at singing, and when he tried to dive, he always got water up his nose. He sat and chewed his whiskers sadly. ‘Never mind,’ said Arctic Fox. ‘You can watch us.’ Arctic Fox and Polar Bear and Seal and Whale practised hard for the big show. Walrus hid behind a snowdrift and watched, and chewed his whiskers. He wished he was good at something.
