What Was I Scared Of?

Dr. Seuss

Ages 3-6

I was deep within the woods

When, suddenly, I spied them.

I saw a pair of pale green pants

With nobody inside them!

What’s a pair of empty green trousers doing by itself in the woods? Or riding a bike through town? The narrator of What Was I Scared Of? does not want to find out. The spooky pants give him the creeps!
