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.”

Text (ପାଠ୍ୟବସ୍ତୁ):

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.

ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଅନୁବାଦ:
ସୁନ୍ଦରତମ ବୃକ୍ଷରାଜି, ଆଜି ସେହି ଚେରି
ଝୁଲୁଛି ଫୁଟା ଫୁଲଧରି ଶାଖା ସବୁ ଭରି,
ପର୍ବତିଆ କ୍ଷେତ ଧାରେ ଧାରେ ଠିଆ ହୋଇ
ଶୁଭ୍ର ଆଚ୍ଛାଦିତ ଆଭୂଷିତ ଇଷ୍ଟର ଢେଉରେ ।

ଅଧୁନା ମୋ ତିନିକୋଡ଼ି ବର୍ଷ ଏବଂ ଦଶ
କୋଡ଼ିଏ ତ ବାହୁଡ଼ି ନ ଆସେ,
ଏବଂ ଘେନିଯାଏ ସତୁରୀରୁ କୋଡ଼ିଏ ବସନ୍ତ
କେବଳ ସେ ମୋତେ ଛାଡ଼ିଦିଏ ଅଧୂକୁ ପଚାଶ ।

ଏବଂ ସେହିଠାରୁ ଚାହିଁରହେ ଫୁଲ ଜୁଆରକୁ
ପଚାଶ ବସନ୍ତ କିଛି ନୁହେଁ ପରା ତା’ର
ଯେବେ ଯାଏ ମୁଁ ତା’ପାଶେ ପାହାଡ଼ ପ୍ରାନ୍ତରେ
ଚେରିଗଛ ଦେଖ‌ିବାକୁ ବରଫ ଦୋଳିରେ ।

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 ……………

Mum, you’re like an angel,
Sent from up above;
With all your kindness, tenderness,
And everlasting love.

You have always looked after me,
And taught me right from wrong;
And when I am down and worried,
It’s always you that come along.

You are not just mum but a friend of mine,
A friend I cannot replace;
And every time I think of you,
All I see is your smilling face.

I thank you mum, for bearing me,
And allowing me to see these times;
Because if it wasn’t- for you, dear mother,
I could never write down these lines.
