What a Bird Thought — Flashcards

Answer

At first, the bird's world was small, round, and made of pale blue shell. The bird lived inside the egg and knew only that tiny space.

Answer

The bird thought it lived in a little house and lived there very well. It felt safe and comfortable inside the shell.

Answer

The bird next lived in a little nest. It needed no other home and stayed nestled by its mother.

Answer

The bird could see only the nest around it, so it thought the world was made of straw. This shows how a very small experience can shape a belief.

Answer

One day, the bird flutters from its nest to see what it can find. After that, it thinks the world is made of leaves.

Answer

Fluttered means moved lightly and quickly. In the poem, it describes the bird flying out of the nest in a quick, light way.

Answer

Pale means light in colour, not dark. In the poem, the shell is described as pale blue, which means a soft light blue colour.

Answer

Labour means hard work. The grown bird says it is quite fit for grown-up labours, which means it is ready for work and responsibility.
