A. Learn and write the given poem-
I quarreled with my brother
I don’t know what about,
One thing led to another
And somehow we fall out,
The start of it was slight,
The end of it was strong,
He said he was right,
I knew he was wrong!
We hated one another.

Thumped me on the back,
And said’ “Oh, come along!
We can’t go on all night-
I was in the wrong.”
So he was in the right.
