THERE ARE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS        AND MILLIONS OF THINGS        AROUND US WHEREVER WE LOOK.        AND SOME OF THOSE MILLIONS        AND MILLIONS OF THINGS        ARE RIGHT HERE IN THIS BOOK!

THERE ARE MILLIONS OF STARS               AND MILLIONS OF CARS

AND MILLIONS OF DOGS AND CATS. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF BEDS AND MILLIONS OF HEADS

AND MILLIONS OF                        BONNETS AND HATS.

THERE ARE MILLIONS OF SHELLS AND MILLIONS OF BELLS AND MILLIONS OF SHIPS AND BOATS. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF TREES AND FLOWERS AND BEES AND MILLIONS OF SHOW-WHITE GOATS. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF STAIRS AND MILLIONS OF BEARS AND MILLIONS OF ICE-CREAM CONES.       THERE ARE MILLIONS OF CLOWNS AND MILLIONS OF SOUNDS            AND MILLIONS OF TELEPHONES. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF LAKES AND DUCKS AND DRAKES AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF STICKS. THERE ARE MILLIONS WHO LIVE BEHIND WALLS OF WOOD AND MILLIONS WHO LIVE BEHIND BRICKS. THERE ARE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS WHO ARE TALL AND THIN AND MILLIONS WHO ARE SHORT AND ROUND. THERE ARE MILLIONS WHO FLY UP HIGH IN THE SKY

AND MILLIONS WHO STAY ON THE GROUND.

THERE ARE MILLIONS OF CREATURES WHO LIVE IN THE WOODS AND MILLIONS WHO LIVE IN THE SEA. AND THERE ARE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS.... BUT IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD THERE IS ONLY ONE YOU AND ONE ME. THE END
