So off in a distance Mikai ran
And he went to a shop that sells tin cans.
He picked up a can of orange flavour,
And the sales gave it for free as a favour.
And so Mikai asked for a receipt
When the sales said they ran out of sheet.
So Mikai got his work done
Well I mean at least Task Number One.
So Mikai ran to buy bread
And guess what the shopkeeper said:
“Hey Hey Ho Yee.
Challenge me and you shall see
From North to South,
From East to West,
And if you can, do your best.
So buy bread, especially baguette
So bring money, don’t forget.”
Mikai brought a piece of bread
That was sweet and crunchy and red,
And when he went home,
He sweetly lay in bed.
