NCERT Book Class 3 English Marigold Balloon Man

UNIT V

The Balloon Man

Does a balloon man visit your market? Let’s see what this balloon man brings with him.

He always comes on market days

And holds balloons – a lovely bunch –

And in the market square he stays.

And never seems to think of lunch.

                 They're red and purple, blue and green.

                 And when it is a sunny day

                The carts and people get between

                You see them shining far away.

And some are big and some are small,

All tied together with a string.

And if there is a wind at all

They tug and tug like anything.

                Some day perhaps he'll let them go

               And we shall see them sailing high,

               And stand and watch them from below —

              They would look pretty in the sky!

                                                 Rose Fyleman
