Question

2. Read this poem by Ruskin Bond:
The simplest things in life are best;
A patch of green,
A small bird’s nest.
A drink of water fresh and cold.
The taste of bread,
A song of old.
These are the things that matter most:
The laughter of a child,
A favourite book,
Flowers glowing wild
A cricket singing in a shady nook,
A ball that bounces high,
A summer shower
A rainbow in the sky
The touch of a loving hand,
And time to rest
These simple things in life are best.
