Question :  Read he poem carefully. 

Earth is covered with snow, 

I see a lonely black crow. 

All people are inside warm rooms, 

House tops look like huge fresh mushrooms. 

Is the crow going to die hungry and cold? 

Suddenly came out a lady wrinkled and old, 

She threw in the lane some garbage, 

The crow cawed its thanks and began to rummage.
