One small paw for wombat

Haiku can be fun
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

Barclays and Stanford
No tomatoes for dinner
Grass green and tree tall

Kiwi on the bus
Watching grass growing outside
San Francisco rocks

Okay, that was kiwi. Now I will tell you about what we did today! We went to Barclays. It was a big investment company, bigger than many big wombats. I took photo with sculpture outside their building, here it is!



Here we played stock trading game. My company bought many big and small stocks, and made a lot of money.



After that we went to NASA. We took lots of photos with me and small wombat and kiwi. Big man told us many interesting stories. One of the things we learned was that the first wombat on the moon said, "one small paw for wombat, and one big leap for wombatkind." Here it is!



After that we went Stanford, small wombat will tell you more.

Hi! Small wombat is me. Small wombat think Stanford is nice place. Small wombat used to study here, got double PhD here. Big place, take wombat many minute to walk. Maybe wombat can cycle, or dig tunnel for train so wombat can travel fast.



Many other smart people come from this place. Small wombat meet some of them when wombat work on invent nuclear weapons, think it called Manhattan Project. Do big experiment, write long paper. After that big bomb go boom. After work, burn paper in big fire, because boss say, wombat must keep some thing secret. Wombat think fire hot, ow. Wombat not put paw in fire again.

Tomorrow we go apple. Wombat think maybe apple nice to eat.

Signing off, Wombat (big), Wombat (small) and Kiwi
