Question

Think and answer in your own words in your notebook.

Does the poem urge us to protect only worms? What is the general message conveyed through this poem?

Answer 1

Though the poem is about the worm, the general message is that God has created all the creatures on earth, big and small, and every creature has a role to play. All beings have equal rights over the bounties of the earth. No one can take away a life that he/she cannot give.
