उत्तर

1. An elephant

There was a little elephant

To whom the river bank was forbidden.

But he went to the brink

Waiting for the crow to drink

And a bitter lesson when his flunk got bitten

2. A Peacock

“Joy is a peacock. Its beauty so rare

A rainbow of colors that vibrantly flares

After the rain, brightly they come out

Into a fan-like form uniquely it creates

Never forgot, this vision, joyfully it illuminates”!

3. Butterfly

A Spider awaits a butterfly

As he comes fluttering by

It’s caught in the silken trap

And straggles acts wings flap

Battling for survival under the blue skies
