Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.

The Raven and the Fox

Raven was perched upon a limb,
And the fox looked up at him,
For the raven held in his great big beak,
A morsel the fox would go far to seek.
Said the fox, in admiring tone, my word!
Sir Raven, you are a pretty bird,
Such feathers! If you would only sing,
The birds of these woods would call you king.
The raven, who did not see the joke,
Forgot that his voice was just a croak,
He opened his beak, in his foolish pride,
And down fell the morsel the fox had spied.
And now you see,
You should not listen to flattery,
Vanity, Sir is a horrid vice,
Im sure the lesson is worth the price.

Dear diary,

I am very happy today. I walked out of my class, 6 Bairavi. My class monitor and
some of my classmates helped me when the bullies were teasing me. One of
the bullies pulled at my crutches. The other two girls jeered and laughed at me.

Stop it! Stop bullying her or we will tell our teacher, my friends shouted.
Although the girls stared fiercely at us, we were not afraid. After a few minutes,
they walked away. I thanked my friends and we walked to the canteen
together.

I am glad the day ended well. Im going to tell my parents about the bullies
later this evening.

Love,
Eeswary
