Question

43)Read the following poem and answer the questions given below(5x1=5)

If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill

Be a scrub in the valley but be

The best little scrub by the side of the hill

Be a bush if you can’t be a tree

If you can’t be a bush be a bit of the grass

And some highway happier make

If you can’t be a muskie then just be a bass

But the loveliest bass in the lake

We can’t all be captain We’ve got to be crewThere is something for all of us here

There is big work to do and there is lesser to do

And the task we must do is the near.

If you can’t be a highway then just be a trait

If you can’t be a sun be a star

It isn’t by size that you win or you fail

Be the best of whatever you are:
