How I rephrased them (simple steps):
- Pick a desert animal the child knows or can imagine (fox, lizard, camel, etc.).
- Keep words short and active (follow, chase, tiptoe).
- Use the word "shadow" so the idea is the same but easy to say.
- Add a tiny fun word (tiny, slow, slithery) to make the picture clear.
