Intro
Wally sees one carrot bright
By familiar rice tonight.
Verse 1
New warm smell feels strange to him.
Dad says, “Choose how to begin.
Look or smell or touch today.
One small bite is your own way.”
Chorus
Look, smell, touch, or tiny bite.
Choose the step that feels all right.
Listen to your mouth and tummy.
New food learning need not hurry.
Verse 2
Wally looks at orange glow,
Touches softly with his fork.
Smells, then tries a crumb-sized bite.
Sweet and soft feels new tonight.
Final Chorus
Look, smell, touch, or tiny bite.
One is plenty for tonight.
Next time he may try once more,
Or simply look and still explore.
Outro
Wally listened carefully.
Brave can move at Wally's speed.
