NCERT Book Class 4 English Marigold Noses the little Fir Tree

UNIT-2

Noses

The Little Fir Tree

Noses

Let’s read and sing

I looked in the mirror

and looked at my nose:

it’s the funniest thing,

the way it grows

stuck right out where all of it shows

with two little holes where the

breathing goes.

                              I looked in the mirror

                              and saw in there

                              the end of my chin

                              and the start of my hair

                              and between there

                              isn’t much space to spare with my nose,

                              like a handle, sticking there.

If ever you want

to giggle and shout

and can’t think of what

to do it about,

just look in the mirror and then, no doubt,

you’ll see how funny YOUR nose

sticks out!

New words

mirror, funniest, breathing, sticking, giggle

Reading is fun
