Open in app

When the world was new,

all people spoke the same language.

They had one word that meant hello,

they had one word for hungry,

and one word for tired.

They could talk to each other

and understand each other.

One day, while they were talking,

they got an idea.

They said, let's make some bricks

and build a tall tower.

Let's build it so tall
