Question

2. Read the following poem carefully:

Someone dropped a burning match

Unheeded by the way;

It caught on fire, some under bush;

From grass to bush, from bush to tree,

So stealthily it ran,

That no one ever guessed or knew

Just where that fire began.

Someone built a campfire

And failed to put it out.

A breeze came and quickened;

The embers spread out

And soon the woods were blazing,

The fire spread and spread;

The trees that took long years to grow

Stand blackened now and dead.

Someone saw a little fire

He did not stop to put it out;

He did not even try.
