ACTIVITY - 1
Listen, recite and enjoy the poem.
Whenever I see,
Others taller than me,
I feel that I am small
And I wish I were tall.
Whenever I see,
Someone overtakes me,
I wish my legs were longer,
To carry me faster.
Whenever I hear,
"Oh, your friend is such a dear;"
I feel like asking "why ?"
And it makes me cry.
Then comes my mother,
Who says, "Don't bother,
I love you, my dear."
The words I'm happy to hear.
