Bird thoughts class 5 cbse

 

I lived first in a little house, And lived there very well, I thought the world was small and round, And made of pale, blue shell.

I lived next in a little nest, Nor needed any other, I thought the world was made of straw, And nestled by my mother.

One day, I fluttered from my nest, To see what I could find, I said the world is made of leaves, I have been very blind.

At length I flew beyond the tree, Quite fit for grown-up labours, I don't know how the world is made, And neither do my neighbours.
