Question

Read the poem and answer the following questions -

Wind, come softly.

Don’t break the shutters of the windows.

Don’t scatter the papers.

Don’t throw down the books on the shelf.
_________________


There, look what you did — you threw them all down.

You tore the pages of the books.

You brought rain again.

You’re very clever at poking fun at weaklings.

Frail crumbling houses, crumbling doors, crumbling rafters,
crumbling wood, crumbling bodies, crumbling lives,
crumbling hearts —

____________________

The wind god winnows and crushes them all.

He won’t do what you tell him.

So, come, let’s build strong homes,
Let’s joint the doors firmly.

Practise to firm the body.

Make the heart steadfast.

Do this, and the wind will be friends with us.

The wind blows out weak fires.

He makes strong fires roar and flourish.

His friendship is good.

We praise him every day.

Also, the poem gives a very important lesson that we should be mentally tough and physically strong in order to survive the hardships of life.

However, a weak person crumbles and breakdown like an old building. So, it is necessary that we should make these destructive forces our friends with our determination and strength.
