KIDSBOOKS | AXIE THE SALAMANDER

There once was a salamander 
That lived near Mexico City
She had baby pink feathery gills
And was really rather pretty

She was called Axolotl
After the ancient Aztec god
Who changed into a salamander
To escape the blade of the sword

But Axie was a wise one
She was already ten years old
She swam in the waters of her lake
Eating larvae, fish and worms

Axie also had a brother
He was called Axie-lad
He’d swim about and gaily shout
At tadpoles that had just hatched

But when there was danger
From birds and Axo-catchers
The Axo siblings hid away
In the depths of their lake waters

So if you’re ever walking around
The lakes of Mexico City
You might just see the Axie twins
So have your camera ready!
