Q.1 Read the following poem and
answers the questions. (05 Marks)
I saw a donkey
one day old,
His head was
too big
For his neck to
hold;
His legs was
shaky
And long and
loose
They rocketed
and staggered
And weren’t
much use.
He tried to
gambol
And frisk a
bit,
But he wasn’t
quite sure
Of the trick of
it.
His queer
little coat
Was soft and
grey
And curled at
his neck
In a lovely way
His face was
wistful
And left no
doubt
That he felt
life needed
Some thinking
about.
So he blundered
round
In venturesome
quest,
And then lay on
the ground
To rest
He looked so
little
And weak and
slim,
I prayed the
world
Might be good
to him.
