This document is a traditional English story for Grade 2, Term 4, Week 6, Version 2.0, titled "(4-6) Give Me Your Legs." The narrative centers on an eel living in a cold pond who desires to walk on land. The eel repeatedly asks other animals for their legs, but each time, they refuse, citing their own needs for their legs. Piggy needs legs to run away from hunters, Doggie needs them to hunt pigs with his owner, and Cassowary likes its long legs for running fast. Consequently, the eel remains in the pond, sad and resigned to never experiencing life on land. The story, presented as a children's narrative, explores themes of desire, the importance of one's own attributes, and the consequences of not being able to fulfill one's wishes. The illustrations depict the eel in the water, a cassowary on the bank, and a wild boar on the bank, suggesting possible interactions or characters within the story.
