Question

write a composition in 150 words with the given ending lines 'a bird in hand is worth two in the bush'.

Answer 1

This English proverb implies that we should be content with what is definitely with us than risking it for the sake of something which is not with us. It also says that those who run after plausible promises and hopes leaving the opportunities in hand. Hence one should aim higher goals only after making the maximum use of the available opportunities. 


A bird which has been caught and is in our hand is definitely more worth than two in the bush, because the two birds are free and not yet caught. 


The story of the greedy dog is a good example of this proverb. In this story the dog has a bone in his mouth and walks over the river bridge and looks into the water where he sees a reflection of himself. He thinks that there is another dog with bone inside the river and jumps into the river and loses his bone in the process. So the bottom line is that we should not risk something which is already in our possession. 


This story tells us that we should care for what is with us at the moment and should not run after the things thinking the false promises and hopes. 

Answer 2

Answer:

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

The proverb "A bird in the hand is worth two" means it is better to be happy with what we have instead of complaining and wanting what we don't have. We must recognise the value of what already belongs to us. Otherwise, we are at great risk of losing everything while trying to get something we assume is better than what we already have. It is wiser to hold on to whatever we have than to risk losing it all in the process of trying to gain something which we think is better.

The proverb "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" is a way of saying that it is better to be satisfied with what we have. We must not become greedy or envious. When we foolishly run after things in order to gain more and more, we may end up losing all our possession and ruin ourselves.

Story : The Greedy Dog

Once a dog found a piece of bone. He was walking with the bone in his mouth looking for a nice place to eat the bone. Soon he reached a river bridge. While walking across the bridge, he looked down in the water and saw his own reflection. He thought that it was another dog with a bone. He immediately jumped into the river to get what he thought was another bone. In the process he lost his own bone.

Moral : A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
