Question 1. You must have seen an egg of hen. Describe it.

Question 2. In this poem, the poet describes different types of home of the baby bird. What is the difference between a house and a home? Which do you think is better?
Answer
A house is a lifeless structure of bricks and stones, wood and glass. It has tile floors, chimneys and so many doors. But it has no feelings, no voice.
Home should not be confused with a house. It is altogether different from a house. It consists of living beings, a group of loving and “helpful brothers and sisters, mother and father. They care for each other unselfishly. They are kind and sharing. A home is much better than a mere house.
