    This document is a poem told from the perspective of a 10-year-old boy named Shyam who is daydreaming about what life would be like if parts of his body were different as he gets ready for school. In his daydreams, Shyam imagines what would happen if his neck was 10 times longer, his legs were as tall as trees, or his arms were strong enough to lift his mother. He also thinks about what he could eat if his teeth could handle anything and how his friends could bounce on his belly if it were very round. Shyam is pulled from his imaginings when his mother calls for him to finish getting ready for school.

    What If?

    Teks Bahasa Sumber Teks Bahasa Sasaran

    My name is Shyam, I am ten years old.


    I am a little skinny, but very bold!
    Waking up for school is no fun at all
    I am so sleepy as I get up, I think I will fall.

    My eyes close as I begin to brush,


    I hear Amma making dosas in a rush.
    My mind slowly begins to wander away,
    And many, many ideas come into play.

    What if my neck was ten times as long?


    Half in school, half at home, where would I
    belong?

    What if my legs were as tall as trees?


    My school building would only come up to
    my knees!

    What if my arms were strong enough?


    Then, lifting Amma would not be tough!

    What if there was nothing too hard for my


    teeth?
    Think of all the things I could eat!

    What if my belly was as round as could be?


    All my friends could jump and bounce off
    me!

    What if I had big and floppy ears?


    I could hear everything, far and near!

    What if — I begin, but Amma shouts,


    “Shyam, you’ll be late, what are you thinking
    about?”

    I find myself still standing with my brush in


    my hand,
    And I smile and think of my secret little
    land.
