The kitten was playing on the wall with the falling leaves. In the bright and fair morning, these leaves fall from the elder tree. The kitten bend down, stretch and goes half-way with a tiger–leap. When she comes near to her prey, she runs fast and jump on her prey. She elegantly plays her part like an Indian magician. She does not care anyone, though thousands were gazing there.

Answer 2

Summary of the poem "The Kitten at Play" by William Wordsworth is given below.

• The poem is about Tabby, a kitty, and her antics.
• As the poem opens, Tabby is sporting with the withered leaves that fall on the ground from the big old tree on a bright and fair morning.
• The kitten stretches, crouches, paws, and darts while playing. She leaps to capture her prey, the wilting leaves, like a tiger.
• The kitty is compared to an Indian conjurer by Wordsworth because she is toying with the leaves in a manner similar to how an Indian conjurer performs his artistic exploits quickly.
• The plays of Tabby are also very aware of the people surrounding them, starring at her plays, much like wise, a conjurer's performance of magic that draws people.
• However, the kitten is not even bothered by the countless eyes that are fixed on her.
• The kitten is portrayed by the poet as a mischievous, playful child who makes her own happy world out of little things.
