Class 5 | English Textbook | BEGINNERS' ENGLISH - V | Lesson 3 : Bird Talk

Bird Talk

Bird Talk : 

Do you think birds find people funny? Let's listen to what the robin and the jay have to say. 

‘Think...’ said the robin, 

‘Think...’ said the jay, 

sitting in the garden

talking one day. 

‘Think about people 

the way they grow: 

they don’t have feathers

at all, you know. 

They don’t eat beetles, 

they don’t grow wings, 

they don’t like sitting

on wires and things.’ 

‘Think!’ said the robin. 

‘Think!’ said the jay. 

‘Aren’t people funny

to be that way?’
