Read and listen to these two poems with your partner and find out what are the things that the village child and the city child like.
The Village Child My home is a house Near a wood I’d live in a street If I could!
I do wish someone
Lived near.
There’s no one to play with
At all.
The trees are so high
And so tall:
And I should be lonely
For hours,
Were it not for the birds
And the flowers. | The City Child I live in a city
In a street;
It is crowded with traffic
And feet;
There are buses and motors
And trams.
I wish there were meadows
And lambs.
The houses all wait
In a row
There is smoke everywhere
That I go.
I don’t like the noises
I hear
I wish there were woods
Very near. |

This poem describes how people are in such a hurry these days. Wherever they are, they are in a hurry. They go here and there hurriedly. They can be seen on the subway. They can be seen with umbrellas in rains. They can be seen rushing for the taxis and riding elevators. Although they are walking singly, they are in a crowd everywhere. Some people are silent, while some are talking loudly. They can laugh and smile but they don’t have time to look at others. It is because they are in a hurry.
