FIREMAN



We live on the 21st floor of our building.

Every couple of days I see a man

Walking up and down the steps —

Up and down — up and down.

I asked him why.

He said, "I'm a fireman."



We live on the 21st floor of our building.

One day last week I decided to try

Walking up and down the steps —

Up and down — as he does.

I guess I'm a fireman.



There are other kinds of fires.
