Name:______________________________________________

1.-Read the following text carefully:


The Kingdom of the Reversed

They told me that in the kingdom of the reverse


Nothing swims the bird and flies the fish
That cats do not say 'Miau' and say 'yes'.
Because they study English a lot

They told me that in the kingdom of the reverse


nobody dances with their feet
that a thief is a guardian and another is a judge
and that two plus two equals three

They told me that in the kingdom of the upside down


A bear fits in a walnut.
What babies use beards and mustaches.
And that a year lasts a month

They told me that in the upside-down kingdom


There is a Pekingese dog
It falls upwards.
And it can't go down afterwards

María Elena Walsh.
