1. One evening Mitu and Situ, two sisters, were studying in their room. Mitu studies in class VII and Situ in Class V. The two sisters were studying in two different schools. Their uncle, Mr. Giri, was watching them from a little distance. He was a retired teacher. He had come to visit them on a week-end. Mr. Giri saw Mitu reading one paragraph from her English textbook then reading the meaning of this paragraph in Odia from a bazaar notebook (Meaning book), which disturbed him. ‘If children study English like this, they will never learn English’, he thought.

2. The uncle was eager to help Mitu learn English on her own without the help of this meaning book. He came close to her and asked her to read the first paragraph of the lesson silently. The lesson was “The Story of Cricket”. The first paragraph was: The shape and the size of a cricket ground are not fixed. They are different. The cricket ground of Melbourne in Australia is bigger than that of Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi. Similarly the shape of Chepauk Cricket Ground in Chennai is circular. But the Adelaide Cricket Ground in Australia is oval.

1. An animal that lives in the desert is the camel. People kept camels as pets many thousands of years ago. Camels usually live in small groups of up to thirty animals.

A thirsty camel can drink as much as thirty gallons of water, about five hundred full glasses, in just ten minutes.
2. There are two different types of camels. One, known as the Dromedary, has only a single hump; the other is called a Bactrian camel and has two humps. The humps help the animal to survive in the desert by acting as storage containers.

1. There was a very big and handsome rooster. He looked like a king with his beautiful red crown. He also felt like a king. He got up very early in the morning, sat in a high place, and sang non-stop-cock-koo-doodle doo, cock-koo-doodle doo. He knew that his song was much better than the songs of the other roosters in his locality. But he wanted to make his song still better, louder, and clearer. But how to do this was his problem. It was a problem till a jackal suggested a way out.
2. The jackal saw the rooster singing every day early in the morning. But it sang keeping his eyes open. If he would try to catch the rooster, the rooster would fly away to the tree. This was what happened the other day when he tried to catch a rooster. So he came to the rooster and said, “Oh great, handsome, king-like rooster! Your song will be really nice if you sing closing your eyes.”

The poet as human being can never be an animal such as a monkey or a lion.
But he wishes or imagines to become a monkey or a lion which is unreal.

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough.
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide

Now my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands, I go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;

This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;

One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;

Couched in his kennel, like a log.
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;

From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;

A harvest mouse goes scampering by.
With silver claws, and silver eye;

And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

8. Let’s Think

Let’s see how poems are made. The poet saw cobwebs on telephone wires. Quickly he linked it to the unfinished clothes of the weavers. A comparison is made between the spiders and the weavers; maybe he saw the cobweb during the daytime. It looked white. Next, he saw the cobweb at sunset. They looked colourful. Lastly, he saw the cobweb in the moonlit night. It looked magical white. Quick linking, comparison, different scenes – cobweb in daylight, cobweb at sunset, cobweb in the moonlit night. All these sights appeal to our eyes. These are called visual images. We can close our eyes and see these beautiful sights. Then the lifeless objects are given life. The sun is pouring colour on the cobwebs. The moon changes the colour of the cobweb. Finally, the poet put all his thoughts and feeling in the form of a poem using the right words at the right places, some words rhyming with other words. All these have turned a simple and common sight into a beautiful poem.
Now the question is: Are poets born or made?
Is it possible to become a poet? Think, think, think ……………
