HOW TO TELL WILD ANIMALS


                                                      SUMMARY

                    The  poet  is  describing  the  various  wild  animals.  These  animals  are  very
                    dangerous and she has introduced them one by one in a very funny way. First
                    of  all  she  tells  us  about  an  Asian  lion.  She  says  that  if  you  are  visiting  the
                    jungles of the East and there you see an animal which has tawny skin and he
                    roars so loudly that you will die out of fear. This means that you have seen an
                    Asian lion. Next in the line is the Bengal tiger that she has explained to be a
                    royal animal that at once attacks and kills a man. She says by adding humour
                    that if this beautiful black striped animal kills you and eats you, then you have

                    surely met a Bengal tiger. After this, she says that if the reader met an animal
                    that has black spotted skin and it at once jumps on him, then it means that the
                    reader has met a leopard. Moreover, she says that if one will cry out in pain, it
                    may be of no use as the leopard will not stop attacking him. Then she moves
                    on to the bear that she says will hug very tightly. This is the way to recognize a
                    bear as it kills a person by hugging him very tightly. So, she says that the bear
                    will continue to hug us tightly and that is the only way to recognize him. After
                    this, she asks a question to the readers that do they know how to recognize
                    beasts that hunt their prey. Here she explains about hyenas which she thinks
                    have a smiling face and the crocodiles that have tears in their eyes. This can be
                    seen when they are killing their prey. The last one in the list is the Chameleon.
                    She says that it is a lizard - like creature which doesn’t have ears and wings just
                    like  a  lizard.  Only  this  can  help  you  differentiate  between  a  lizard  and
                    chameleon. She further says that the chameleon has a quality of changing its
                    colour according to the colour of the surface. So, to explain this she says that if
                    the reader looks at the tree and if he can only see the tree, this means that
                    there is a chameleon sitting on it which has already turned its colour to brown
                    just like the branch of the tree.
