Invention

[Translated from the Russian]

Abi: Mama, who invented invention?

Mira: That's a great question. Nobody invented invention. It's a big mystery where it came from - how people became smart. Most animals can't make up new things.

Abi: I know where it came from! Either we got it from the apes, or God made us this way.

Mira: OK. If God made us this way, that answers the question. But if we got it from the apes, then we still don't know where it came from originally.

[Abi is still thinking about this one...]

Floating Cities
================
by Abi (with help from Josh), August 2008

One, two, three, four,
Tell me if you love me more

Floating cities
Waves on water

One, two, three, four,
Tell me if you love me more

Grass on fields
Clouds on mountains

One, two, three, four,
Tell me if you love me more

Leaves on branches
Sticks on paths

One, two, three, four,
Tell me if you love me more

Moons in skies
Shooting stars

One, two, three, four,
One, two, three, four,
One, two, three, four,
One, two, three, four...
