📖 Sample Text
At the cold North Pole, '
neath a snow-filled sky,
there was ONE on the sleigh…
then more piled high!
THERE WERE TEN ON THE SLEIGH!
There were TEN on the sleigh, i
t was not time to play!
"Get packing! Start stacking!"
So they shimmied and they shifted, and ONE bounced away.
There were NINE on the sleigh, it was not time to play! "
Get packing! Start stacking!"
So they shimmied and they shifted, and ONE bounced away.
(You get the idea!)
