Part Five
Nate and Lil had some more wine, and also they did munch.
Then they jumped to go see Pete and to offer him some lunch.
The fairy and the spider found themselves in quite a crunch
When they tried to fit with Pete between the grapes all in a bunch.
Shortly after washing dishes, the three friends heard a roar.
Pete said, “It is the giant, wanting juice forevermore.”
Lil said, “George the giant? The one who has no inhibitions?”
And Nate said, “He loves that wine! It’s his permanent condition!”
Use this copy of the poem to make notes about stress.
