the kid with the world in his backpack was very smart
his parents loved him very much
every morning they put the world in his backpack and sent him to school
This was cumbersome for the little one, but his legs grew strong fast
he made sure to keep his balance, as a wrong step could turn fatal
every day the world grew heavier
every day his legs grew stronger
he grew so strong he could jump with the world in his backpack
one day he gathered everyone he knew to witness how high he could jump
he compressed his legs and sprung towards the heavens
the world became unfastened by the jump
the child fell to his stomach upon landing
the world, now free-fall was so large
and his back so fragile
the child didn't even scream
as his back shattered into oblivion
