Question Answer
1. About The
Author
The poem "What a Bird Thought" is written by an anonymous poet. That means
the writer's name is not officially credited or known.
The poem beautifully captures
a young bird’s evolving understanding of the world—from the safety of its
shell, to the nest, and finally to the vast outdoors. It’s a gentle metaphor
for growing up and discovering that the world is much bigger and more complex
than we first imagined.
Let us do these activities before we read.
Ans. There is a nest on the tree
with one bird and a parrot. The parrot is sitting on the branch of a tree and
the other one is about to sit on it.

you do then?
Ans: I worked hard for my exams.
·
How did it help you?
Ans: I came first in my class.
·
How did it make you feel?
Also, discuss in groups.
Ans: I felt very happy.
1. Where are the places you see birds? What do you see the birds
doing?
Ans. The parrot is sitting on the branch of the tree doing nothing, while the
bird is coming back to its nestling.
3. Do you want to fly like a bird? Why?
Ans. Yes, I want to fly like a bird to explore the world.
4. What does a baby bird think about its
world?
Ans. The baby bird first thought that the world was an egg and then the nest.
After that, the bird realised the world was made of leaves. Eventually, it
understood that the world was too vast.

Stanza- 1
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.
मैं पहले एक छोटे से
घर में रहता था,
और वहाँ बहुत अच्छे से रहता था।
मुझे लगता था कि दुनिया छोटी और गोल है,
और हल्के नीले खोल से बनी है।
Stanza 2
Then I lived in a little nest,
Nor needed any other.
I thought the world was made of straw,
And nestled by my mother.
फिर मैं
एक छोटे से घोंसले में रहने लगा,
और मुझे किसी और चीज़ की ज़रूरत नहीं थी।
मुझे लगता था कि दुनिया तिनकों से बनी है,
और मेरी माँ की गोद में सजी हुई है
Stanza 3
One day, I fluttered from my nest,
to what I could find,
I said the world is made of leaves,
I have been very blind.
एक दिन मैं अपने घोंसले से फड़फड़ाते हुए निकला,
जो कुछ भी मुझे मिला, उसकी ओर गया।
मैंने कहा, दुनिया पत्तों से बनी है,
मैं बहुत अंधा हूँ
Stanza 4
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.
अंततः मैं पेड़ से आगे उड़ गया,
बिलकुल तैयार था
बड़े कामों के लिए।
मुझे नहीं पता
दुनिया कैसे बनी है,
और मेरे पड़ोसियों
को भी नहीं।
